Space Teleidoscope

Handmade in Japan by kaleidoscope expert Koji Yamami to express the feeling of space at the moment of slipping back in time, inspired by his love of science fiction movies.

The image displayed is a combination of two, and the infinitely spreading radiation changes the light entering through the gaps of the mirror into rainbow colours using a special dichroic film and a 3 mirror system.

Changing the direction of the tip of the scope changes the way light enters, leading to a complete change in the atmosphere of the image. The central part of the image is a teleidoscope thus the image and colour change depending on the object you see, so you can enjoy infinite images of world around you. Show this beauty to a friend and watch their reaction! This really is a unique scope and gift.

KOJI YAMAMI

Koji Yamami is an award-winning Japanese kaleidoscope artist and maker who studied art and design at Santa Monica College in California in the 1980s. Inspired by a stained glass kaleidoscope at a gallery, he recalled his studies in stained glass in Japan and began handcrafting kaleidoscopes upon returning to Tokyo. Koji's kaleidoscopes are relatively large scale, brilliantly coloured structures pieced together with stained glass. They are usually inspired by figurative and natural motifs. The inner view presents colourful, ever-changing and mysterious images.

Actively promoting kaleidoscopes globally, Koji also teaches kaleidoscope design in his stained glass studio. His mission is to inspire and surprise people by pioneering new artistic technologies and promoting kaleidoscopes worldwide.
