Crystal Garden Shirokane "SAKURA -cherry blossoms-" -glass kaleidoscope-Crystal Garden Shirokane is a studio where Mitsuru and Yuriko Yoda as well as talented younger artists are creating kaleidoscopes. Cherry blossoms are sand blasted on the glass tube. This is their standard style, created on a variety of themes, but no two are the same. The open two mirror system inside the glass tube allows the patterns outside to be reflected into the image, decorating the central mandala pattern. Inside the small object cell,
six-point image overlaps transparent glass objects on top of the polarized light color patterns
