Kobe Lampwork Glass Museum, Art museum in Kyōmachi, Japan.
The Kobe Lampwork Glass Museum displays 2,000 glass pieces created through lampworking techniques, including ancient and modern Tombodama beaded creations.
The museum opened in 2005 by Miyamoto Kyonobu on the site of his former restaurant, which was destroyed during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.
Japanese craftsmen create Tombodama, glass beads with intricate designs and central holes, representing the connection between glass art and dragonfly symbolism.
Visitors can participate in hands-on workshops to create their own glass beads using lampworking methods under the guidance of experienced artisans.
The museum publishes LAMMAGA, a quarterly magazine about lampwork, and established both the Japan Lampwork Society and Japan Beads Society.
