The only maker of genuine Hizen Vidro

In 1852, for the casting of cannons, Seirenkata (now known as Riken) was set up, and as part of this, Hizen Vidro was also commissioned to manufacture glassware. A rare glass kiln was built at the time, and the glass technology cultivated here spread to the manufacture of daily necessities such as lamps and tableware after the Meiji Restoration. Soejima Glass Co., Ltd. was founded by Genichiro Soejima, who became independent in 1903. Hizen Vidro, which could only be made by craftsmen, is disappearing in the wave of modern mechanization. .
