Kiriko glass made by independent Kiriko glass artist Saito Hikaru.
We have mastered the secret techniques of hand polishing at an Edo Kiriko workshop that has been in business for over 100 years, and we have adopted this polishing method that respects tradition because it offers many benefits to users, even though it may be less productive or less profitable.
While respecting traditional designs, we strive to create interesting designs that ordinary Edo Kiriko craftsmen would not create.

This marked my 100th piece since I started producing designs.
As this is our 100th work, we wanted to create something special and meaningful.
When I was an amateur, I attended an Edo Kiriko class for four years, and the final design I came up with during that time is a masterpiece from my amateur days, called the Yotsuyagi design.
This is an original, standard design from our workshop.
The concept of the Yotsuyari kata existed before I made my first work independently, and it became a special theme for me to create a work that connected the past and the present, asking myself what would happen if I multiplied it with my current skills after making 99 works.
I have created 99 pieces and discovered 28 logical points for "how can glass look beautiful?"
The work incorporates 24 of these requirements.
We believe that this design represents one answer that has been reached as far as Kiriko (cut glass) design can possibly be reached.
There are 24 pieces in this work, so explaining them all would take up an incredibly long amount of text, so I'll just briefly introduce the key points of this work.
The cuts into the large four-pointed railing at the top feature traditional patterns: (from left to right) "Hakkaku Kagome" (octagonal basket weave), "Kikutsunagi" (connected chrysanthemums), and "Asanoha" (hemp leaves).
In addition, the top of the three patterns is rubbed in a semicircular shape to make it more comfortable in the mouth.
The difficulty of cutting octagonal basket weave and chrysanthemum connections is among the most difficult.
We have adopted octagonal basket weave because it has a good balance of transparent cuts and color retention, and is excellent in terms of design.
What is particularly noteworthy is the size of the octagonal basket weave.
I think there are very few people in Japan who can carve such small octagonal basket weave patterns.
We hope you enjoy the best cut in Japan.
For comparison, the octagonal basket weave is cut three times finer than that made by a typical Edo Kiriko craftsman with over 10 years of training.
The octagonal basket weave pattern is an auspicious design that is believed to ward off evil spirits through the weave of the basket.
The chrysanthemum motif is also an auspicious design that conveys positive meanings such as longevity, good health, health, nobility, and integrity.
The corners of the bottom have been changed in shape using two types of "corner cutting" techniques.
The purpose of this is
- The change in the shape of the sole adds an interesting accent to the design
- Comfortable feel of the cut when held in the hand
is.
It is not only the design that is appealing, but also the functional beauty that takes into consideration the feel of the product.
There is also intricate detail around the mouth.
By rubbing it at an angle towards your mouth, it feels very smooth in your mouth.
There are four ellipses cut into the four yari rails in the middle section, and when you look through them you can see that the expressions they present are different depending on whether they are on the X-axis or Y-axis.
We came up with this design to create a beautiful appearance while keeping in mind the transparency so that the color of the drink can be seen clearly.
This design choice was made possible thanks to the experience gained from creating 99 works.
In addition to connecting the past and present and remembering our original intentions, using the four-sided yagura design has another meaning.
I chose the name "remember" to convey a message of gratitude to the many people who have helped me get to this point, and to express how I still remember each and every moment.
Consider using them for yourself, as gifts, for Instagram, or to improve your store's brand image.
