Sake Cup Fuji Edo Kiriko & Guinomi Daruma

https://www.floyd.jp/images/detailed/2/fujidaruma.gif **Fuji Edo Kiriko** Edo, the original name of present-day Tokyo, is known for the exquisite traditional art of Edo Kiriko Cut Glass. This Fuji Kiriko Vessel has been hand-carved by accomplished Kiriko craftsmen in the likeness of Mt. Fuji using the classic, traditional Edo techniques. With precise and elaborate cuts representing Mt. Fuji’s snow-covered peak, the Kiriko artisans are able to portray the colorful faces of Japan’s sacred mountain in the characteristic Kiriko colors of “ruri” (lapis lazuli blue). The interior of the attractive, paulownia box is lined with pure white cotton, designed to represent the sea of clouds often covering this noble mountain. This beautiful Kiriko piece may be used as a sake cup, or as a vessel for your favorite hors d'oeuvre. What is Edo Kiriko? The techniques of Kiriko have been handed down through generations of craftsman, originating in 1834 with the founder Kyubei Kagaya, and has been officially designated a traditional craft of both Tokyo and of Japan. **Guinomi Daruma** In a tradition that has been handed down since the Edo Era, this charming Guinomi Daruma cup is made using a technique called “Overlay Glass”. Fill with your favorite Sake and watch the Daruma’s flushed, red face wobble in a drunken dance! Ever rising after a fall, the Daruma is a Japanese symbol of luck and tenacity. Use this vessel as a Sake cup, or as a small side plate for any appetizer.
