Blown from black and red glass rods, with fusions of glass powder; matte finish. On the shoulder, radial stripes radiating from the neck; on the wall, a continuous frieze of rectangular black panels with red borders. Rim in opaque red. Engraved signature and inscription “19.11.1998 Murano Yoichi Ohira - m° L.

From the mid-1990s onward, he collaborated with master glassmaker Livio Serena to create primarily one-of-a-kind pieces that blend Japanese design language with Venetian glassmaking techniques. His works are held by institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Corning Museum of Glass, and in 2025, Magazzino Italian Art presented his first retrospective.
