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.
Product Description
Product name: Sake cup, octagonal basket pattern and tortoise shell pattern
Dimensions: Mouth diameter φ59mm x height H48mm
Capacity: 60ml
Product code: SK-G-ha-108
This is an upgraded traditional piece, with the traditional octagonal basket weave pattern in the center and tortoiseshell cut into the bottom.
This piece is intended to elevate the design of a purely traditional style, eschewing originality.
The squares in octagonal basket weave are much smaller than those made by other workshops.
We have improved the quality by making fine cuts.
I don't think there are many craftsmen who can cut octagonal basket weave of such fine size so neatly.
We hope you enjoy our high level of technology.
Although tortoise shell is a traditional Japanese pattern, it is a relatively minor pattern in the world of Kiriko.
I don't think you'll see this very often in other workshops.
Since it is quite difficult to make, many craftsmen may not choose the tortoiseshell design at all.
As you can see from the photos and videos, the tortoiseshell part projects images from various angles like a kaleidoscope, so I think it would be fun to actually use it.
It is quite clear and transparent, even among sake cups, so it is perfect for those who want to enjoy the color of their drink.
Even when drinking high-quality whiskey straight from a sake cup, you can still fully enjoy the color that comes from barrel aging.
The octagonal basket weave is an auspicious pattern that has the power to ward off evil spirits by removing evil from the weave of the basket.
The tortoise shell motif is also considered to be an auspicious motif that brings about good health, such as longevity and good health.
The area around the mouth is rubbed inward to create a concave shape.
I analyzed what makes something taste good in the mouth in my own way and identified the conditions that humans need to make something taste good in the mouth.
It meets about three of those requirements, so I think you'll like it.
The feel on the mouth is different from the thin glasses that are popular these days, and I think this one is more comfortable to use.
As the name suggests, the tortoiseshell material has a rough texture that feels like you are touching a tortoiseshell.
The reason for choosing this tortoiseshell pattern was that "I wanted it to be interesting not only for the visual sense, but also for the tactile sense."
Although it lacks originality, I believe that by paying attention to details such as the feel in the mouth and the texture, I have created a piece of timeless beauty that is an elevated version of a traditional design.
I think this is the perfect choice for those who want a high-quality product with a traditional design.
We hope you will consider purchasing this product for yourself, as a gift, or to improve your store's brand image.
