Edo Kiriko - A Traditional Japanese Craftwork

Edo Kiriko Is A Traditional Japanese Craftwork, Officially Designated As A National Heritage, Developped In Downtown Tokyo During The Edo Period (1603-1867). Consisting Of Two Layers Of Glass Melted In 1350 Degrees Heat, The Craftmen Then Cut Each Glass By Hand To Create Fine Designs With Their Remarkable Technique. As A Result, Two Shades Of Contrasting Colors Reflect The Light Beautifully, Accentuated By Traditional Or Flower Patterns Curved On The Surface. Black Edo Kiriko, In Particular, Has A Simple And Modern Design, Yet The Deep Black Color Gives A Strong Impression. This Craft Won The Best Traditional Art Craft Title In A Tokyo Competition.

Handling And Care

Since Edo Kiriko Products Are Handmade, There May Be Slight Differences In Color And Size. Additionally, There May Also Be Small Bubbles Or Scratches. However, These Do Not Affect The Quality Of The Product And Should Be Enjoyed As Part Of The Uniqueness Of Hand-Made Glasses. Handle With Care, As The Glass Is Fragile.
