Kiriko Studio Shinkou Homepage URL: https://www.kirikoshinkou.com/ Kiriko glass made by independent Kiriko glass artist Saito Hikaru. We learned the secret techniques of hand polishing at an Edo Kiriko workshop that was founded over 100 years ago, and even though we consider the productivity and profitability of the technique low, we value the tradition and want to deliver authentic Kiriko to our users, so we also value the technique of hand polishing. While respecting traditional designs, we aim to create interesting designs that ordinary Edo Kiriko craftsmen would not create, so we are sure you will find a great piece that strikes a chord with you. Product Description Product name: Octagonal basket weave tumbler Dimensions: mouth diameter φ74mm x height H105mm Capacity: 240ml Product code: SK-T-ha-072 This piece has the same design and structure as the "Kiku-Kagome and Kiku-Tsunagi Tumbler," but with less originality and a more traditional design, I wanted to create a piece of higher quality. The traditional octagonal basket weave pattern, which is particularly difficult to make, is carved all the way around, creating a traditional design that shows off the octagonal basket weave. The intention behind the design is based on the idea that "the bottom is clear and transparent, allowing you to fully enjoy the color of the drink." The parts that are of a higher grade than the usual Kiriko are ・The highly difficult octagonal basket weave cut is carved into a small, highly difficult size. - The mouth area is rubbed at an angle to make it more comfortable in the mouth. - Rough cuts are made on the sides to add the pleasant feel of the edges that are characteristic of Kiriko glass. -The large flats on the sides are cut using relatively specialized equipment in our workshop, so other craftsmen probably would not be able to produce this. - By removing the color from the entire bottom, the clear color stands out better and it looks beautiful. The size of the octagonal basket weave is made in a fairly small size. When drawing up the design for the glass, the grid for the octagonal basket weave part is made much finer to adjust it. Nowadays, most workshops do not bleach the color from the bottom. To be honest, I have never seen anyone else doing this except me. If you remove the color from the bottom, the clear color will come out better and it will look very beautiful. We carved out about 10 different patterns for the lip and determined that rubbing it in a semicircular shape gave the best mouthfeel, so we adopted that shape. Structurally, it is a basic design with a traditional pattern carved into a band all the way around the center of the glass. However, by paying close attention to details and usability, we are able to do things that other craftsmen would not do, or perhaps could not do, and I believe this is what differentiates our designs. This is an upgraded traditional design that is packed with the wisdom and technique of Kiriko Studio Jinko. We hope you will consider purchasing this product for yourself, as a gift, or to improve your store's brand image.
