The Foot of the Rainbow — Glass by Katsuyoshi Kono

After the rain, a rainbow appears without warning. Those colors exist only when light and water happen to meet in the same place — a miracle that lasts a moment.

"The Foot of the Rainbow," made by Katsuyoshi Kono of Art Factor, holds that vanishing scene inside a glass. Turn it, or let the light fall differently, and a soft band of color rises within.

A rainbow retreats the moment you try to reach it. This glass does the opposite — each time you pick it up, it feels as though you have arrived at where the rainbow begins, and a quiet happiness fills in.

One small miracle somewhere in an ordinary day is enough to change how that day looks.

Available at SORA, Taisho Glass. When you visit Otaru, please hold one up to the light.
