Setsuko and Ogishi Glass Memorial story on SBS Small Business Secrets

Typically, three different furnaces (running upwards of 1000 degrees Celsius) are required to melt the glass, manipulate it, and then slowly cool it down.

​“Most of our expense goes to energy. That’s why there are not many studios existing.”
