Life 'Men-Choko' Glass

Kazumi Tsuji for Factory Zoomer

• Introduction

  I am a Life 'Men-choko' Glass. I don’t beat around the bush. I spell it out. Then leave you to wonder what it all means, sip after sip.

   

• Curator's Notes 

  Kazumi Tsuji once wrote that if there were a single word to express what Factory Zoomer wants to convey, it would simply be 'life'. That word became the title of a gallery space, a body of work, and this small glass. A partner to the everyday, handcrafted with care.

  I love how direct it is. It literally says life, but in a way that feels almost defiant. Like it’s challenging you to think about what that means while you’re just going about your day. I use it for anything - water, iced coffee, juice - but it always makes me pause. It’s sharp, simple, precious and a little bit rebellious. Just like life.
