the artist behind Cheesa
One of my talented friends Chisa we met in Osaka after she got married, moved in Okinawa, she discovered that Ryukyu glass was originally introduced by craftsmen from Osaka—a connection that instantly resonated with her.
Today, under her brand Cheesa, she transforms leftover fragments of Ryukyu glass-originally made from recycled bottles-into beautifully handcrafted beads.
Each bead carries its own little cycle of reuse, filled with the colors, bubbles, and unique character that make Ryukyu glass so special.
Step into Chisa's world and experience the gentle stories woven into every piece.
What is Ryukyu Glass?
Born in early 1900s Okinawa, Ryukyu glass was revived after WWII by craftsmen who melted down discarded beer and cola bottles. The tiny bubbles created by leftover impurities—once seen as flaws—became its iconic charm.
