Vintage Japanese Glass Float (Ukidama) — 1980, Showa Era
A Maritime Treasure from Japan’s Coastal Heritage

This vintage Japanese glass float, or ukidama, crafted in the 1980s during the Showa Era, is a stunning remnant of traditional maritime craftsmanship.

Encased in its original woven jute netting, this 4 1/2" diameter float tells the story of Japan’s coastal legacy. Whether displayed in a nautical-themed interior, hung in a window to catch the light, or added to a vintage collection, this piece offers rustic charm and timeless appeal.
