Sparkling Glass

Edo Kiriko beer glasses are decorated with a sparkling star pattern within the auspicious Shippo pattern, which means harmony and harmony. When Kiriko is applied to glass glasses, it reflects light and enhances its brilliance.

Edo Kiriko is a manufacturing technique for valuable traditional crafts that still exist in Japan as excellent glass crafts from the Edo period. It has a long history, and production began at the end of the Edo period. The tradition has been passed down by craftsmen for over 170 years without interruption.

Unique design of the workshop

The Edo Kiriko Shippo Star Pattern Sip Beer Pair is a small size as its name suggests. The glasses are carefully finished by skilled traditional craftsmen, with a design that makes use of the original traditions of Edo Kiriko while also incorporating modern elements. Sticking to the pale purple color of the Edo period, Kiriko craftsmen apply the workshop's unique design based on various traditional motifs.
The warmth of handmade products and the delicate craftsmanship of these glasses will make you sigh with their beauty.

Edo Kiriko is a glasswork that is made by cutting transparent soda glass and then finishing it with hand-rubbing and polishing. Because the process is done by hand, it requires highly advanced traditional techniques, and it takes many, many years to master.
It is said that it takes at least 10 years for the eyes and hands to master the basic techniques of the delicate cuts of Kiriko.

Kiriko that Makes a Great Gift

The Edo Kiriko Shippo Star Pattern Sip of Beer Pair is recommended as a gift. It comes in a decorative box, so it is perfect for a gift for celebrations, commemorative gifts, or souvenirs for foreigners. It is also a good gift for people who like alcohol.

Mitsuwa Glass Crafts was founded in 1971. At Glass Studio Saiho, they aim to create "masterpieces that are unique to handcraft, that make you happy every time you look at them, and make you feel enriched every time you use them." While preserving the fine traditions of Edo Kiriko, Saiho strives to incorporate modern patterns and also puts effort into nurturing the traditions in order to preserve them, creating new Edo Kiriko.
