Chitoshi Takabayashi "Sky Ocean SE"　

Chitoshi Takabayashi is a wood kaleidoscope artist. He trained with  Randy and Shelley Knapp and draws on their experience to create his own unique pieces.　
The design and beautiful workmanship of the tube, which is made from a combination of many types of wood, first attracts the eye. The oil cell at the tip rotates very smoothly and is easy to look through, another indication of the high quality of the work. The object cell is made of acrylic, but has no edges and is beautifully curved to enhance the sense of unity with the wooden tube. A six-point flower pattern fills the field of view with various shades of blue, perhaps expressing the blue of the sky and the ocean.  White objects with shadows typical of Mr Takabayashi, amber object and other objects broaden the range of expression, creating an attractive three-mirror image.
