Japanese artists possess the uncanny ability of incorporating their traditions into their drive for technological progress. They are constantly transgressing the divide between history and future, art and craft, inspiration and dissociation, reality and fantasy, body and spirit. Also, the works of these artists exhibited exceptional atmosphere, material sensitivity, loyalty towards shape and form, and compelling subtlety. These various factors prompted the Glasmuseum to enter into constant dialogue with Japanese glass artists and museum colleagues, a dialogue which ultimately resulted in this fascinating exhibition.
