My name is Atsuko. I was born in Toyota City, Japan, in 1982. Today I live in a small village in the Spanish Pyrenees, where I make glass jewellery — pendants, rings and earrings — inspired by the magic of whales, the flowing water in the mountains and the colours of nature.
My first encounter with borosilicate glass was on the streets of Berkeley, USA. I was completely taken by the sight of glass melting, breathing, transforming in the flames. At home in Japan, I met my mentor. Twenty years later, I remain just as fascinated by the wondrous world of glass as I was then.
Borosilicate glass melts at 1,800°C. At that heat it moves like water — flowing, folding, holding the breath of the maker. Every Sirio piece is shaped at the torch in a single sitting, then slow-annealed overnight so the light it caught at the flame stays inside the glass.
Bring tranquility and spiritual elegance to your space with our exclusive Crystal Torii Gates. Inspired by the sacred entrances of traditional Japanese shrines, these exquisite miniatures symbolize the transition from the everyday to the divine.
I’ll make a torii gate for you. Please place your order.
