Passing on the traditions we have inherited to the present

A beautiful beer glass with a modern expression of the Yarai pattern, which is representative of Edo Kiriko. The Yarai pattern imitates a bamboo fence and is said to have the meaning of warding off evil. When Kiriko is applied to a glass glass, 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.

The red and blue glasses are paired together, and the transparency unique to glass and the unique deep color are attractive. Kiriko craftsmen create unique designs based on various traditional motifs.
The warmth of handmade products and the delicate craftsmanship make these glasses so beautiful that they will take your breath away.

Edo Kiriko is a glasswork that is made by applying Kiriko work to transparent soda glass and finishing it with hand-rubbing and polishing. Because the work is done by hand, it requires highly advanced traditional techniques and 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 Kiriko, which involves delicate cutting.
