Item Description

A collaborative kaleidoscope by Asahi Hosono and glass artist Motohiro Sato, titled “S×H No.146”.

This unique piece combines Sato’s transparent, sculptural glass with Hosono’s polarized technique, creating a hybrid kaleidoscope that blends oil and dry chamber elements. The result is a delicate and immersive “miniature universe” where colors shift dynamically depending on light direction and intensity.

The interior reveals a hexagonal pattern formed by a 3-mirror system, while polarizing film produces vivid rainbow-like imagery. The metal body features a refined, tarnished silver-like finish, achieved through repeated processing, and is subtly engraved with the artist’s signature.
