Chiyuki Hirota (広田ちゆき) is a highly regarded Japanese glass artist known for her delicate, nature-inspired glasswork. She is skilled in various glass-blowing and shaping techniques, often playing with light transparency to create shadows that are as much a part of the art as the object itself..

Hirota’s work is characterized by its warmth and organic themes. Unlike the cold, sharp imageoften associated with glass, her pieces often feel soft and “living."

* The "Fig" (Ichijiku) Series: This is one of her most recognizable motifs. These pieces often use frosted or colored glass to mimic the fruit's texture and ripeness, which demonstrates Hirota's range—shifting from the delicate, organic greens of nature to the indulgent, structured world of pâtisserie.
