Hakaru Mizuguchi was one of the artists selected in 1981 for one of Japan\u2019s first glasswork exhibitions, called \u201cContemporary Glass \u2013 Australia, Canada, U.S.A. &amp; Japan\u201d. In 1983, he went on to found \u201cThe Glass Studio in Hakodate\u201d, which has become an integral part of the tourist experience among the red-brick warehouses by the bay in Motomachi.
