Edo Kiriko - Homura Green

Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese craft of cutting patterns into glassware, originating from Edo (now Tokyo) in the 19th century. The intricate patterns, often inspired by nature and Japanese motifs, are cut by skilled artisans using special cutting wheels. The resulting glassware is not only beautiful but also functional, with the cuts enhancing the texture and grip of the glass.

This piece of Edo Kiriko is called "Homura". It is designed with the image of flickering flames. The "Flames" is engraved with cuts that flow gently like strong flames that won't go out even when blown by wind.

The top features fine cuts of the traditional Edo Kiriko pattern "Kiku-tsugibun" (chrysanthemum-shaped cuts) for good luck. In contrast, the bottom has deep and powerful cuts, giving the impression that the flame is born from the bottom when viewed from above.

It is a masterpiece with vibrant colors and dynamic cuts that stand out on the vivid glass. The "Flames" was created with a unique sensibility that pursues self-expression, breaking free from the concepts of traditional Edo Kiriko. Enjoy a quiet and exquisite drink while admiring the shining crystal glass and flickering flames.
