DESCRIPTION

The city of Otaru in Hokkaido Prefecture is famous for its glass making tradition. Fascinated by Otaru glassware, Chen Yu-Chin moved here from her native Taiwan to train to become a glass artisan herself. After only a year, she was already an award-winning glass artist! On this episode, we follow Yu-Chin as she prepares her latest piece for an upcoming art exhibition. We also drop by a factory in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture, to meet Indonesian Nursalam Hidayat, who trains as a metal caster.
