Peter Newsome CONTEMPORARY ASIAN GLASS ARTISTS Japan Japanese glass art has a short but very rich history. The small Pacific island, Niijima , administered by Tokyo has a world-renowned glass art center, built and run by Osamu and Yumiko Noda, graduates of Illinois State University where they studied glass with world renowned glass artist and teacher Joel Philip Myers. Every autumn, the Niijima International Glass Art Festival takes place inviting top glass artists, such as Richard Marquis, Joel Philip Myers and Dale Chihuly, for demonstrations and seminars. Niijima glass art uses a rock indigenous to the island, rhyolite, a silica-based sandstone, known locally as koga. Korea Korean Glass Art is developing, and while it has a 1400 year old tradition, it has not kept pace with achievements in ceramics. This may change as Korean nationalism forces more competition with the leading Japanese and Chinese glass artists.
