Yes, it looks like a Japanese float for a fishing net. They used to wash up on Pacific Ocean beaches.Glass floats, glass fishing floats, or Japanese glass fishing floats are popular collectors' items. They were once used by fishermen in many parts of the world to keep their fishing nets, as well as longlines or droplines, afloat.
