Yoichi Ohira (1946–2022) was one of the most original figures in contemporary glass, combining Japanese aesthetic sensibilities with the great artisanal tradition of Murano.

After moving to Venice in the 1970s, he developed a research deeply rooted in collaboration with Murano glass masters, including Livio Serena and Giacomo Barbini. His works, often created as one-of-a-kind pieces, combine traditional techniques such as murrine, canne, filigree, and incalmo with sophisticated surface finishes.

In his vases, glass takes on an almost pictorial and material quality: colors, textures, and transparencies evoke stones, water, landscapes, and natural forms. The encounter between Japanese culture and Venetian craftsmanship gives rise to an immediately recognizable language, which has made Ohira a reference figure in art glass and collectible design.
