Yoshi's name for this marble stands for blessings or good fortune, and that's because red and white are the colors the Japanese use to signify luck and good fortune. This marble is very large for one of Yoshi's works, and thus is CHOCK FULL of awesome Japanese karma! Yoshi poured his heart and soul into this one back in 2015, and it is as sweet as they come! There are soooo many dots in this marble, thousands of them stacked upon each other, and the amount of work in this piece is mind boggling. The layers are incredible in hand and you'll love exploring it. It also has a very unique and rare twist on the one end, a style Yoshi has incorporated very sparingly in his work, and never quite like this. It's an amazing marble, perfection from top to bottom, and fit for the greatest of collections! This is amazing art glass marble history that will be treasured for the rest of time! Don't miss this special piece! Signed with YK opal and the year '15'.
Yoshi has created special boxes for these amazing creations of his, the newer marbles from 2014 on, and this gem comes in one of those! The last two pics show one of these boxes, and it comes complete with a removable black felt base which the marble can rest on either inside or outside of the box, depending on where you want to place the base. There are two nice little black pillows inside the box which hold the marble in place as the box clicks shut. It is a heavy, extremely well-crafted box that is lacquered to a deep, shiny black finish. This box then comes inside another black storage box. The whole design is extraordinarily brilliant, bringing a touch of class to marbles that deserve it far above and beyond all others. Yoshi is an artist at the highest level of artistry, and he respects his work on a level like it truly should be respected. Please forgive the bright shining dust in the pics - some of those particles fought a tough battle in trying to cling to this beautiful box. The box is WAAAAY better in hand, trust me.
