minaniwa is an innovative piece and brand born from the image of real water.
We recreate the universal aesthetic sense of love and respect for water that has existed in Japan since ancient times into modern life, and propose beauty yet unseen elsewhere in the world.
"Latest technology: 3D modeling of water" + "Glass manufacturing method that has been around since the prehistoric era"
A unique formula was developed to create 3D modeling data for water, a first in Japan (presumably) so that water patterns would appear when glass was blown. Based on the formula, a prototype was created with a 3D printer, and a "3D glass blown mold" was then hand-made. Using that mold, glass was blown with advanced techniques to create a plate with realistic "water ripples."
Although we use the latest technology to blow glass, each plate is unique. The beauty of handcraft is that no two pieces are exactly alike, and the superior transparency that only blown glass can provide is something that cannot be found in mass-produced glass. This work was created through the collaboration of a producer, designer, and craftsman.
