The Spirit of Craftsmanship

IN JAPAN, “匠” STANDS FOR THE HIGHEST HONOR OF CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Each piece is created through a meticulous multi-stage process, with every step entrusted to a skilled artisan. By dedicating themselves to their craft, these masters combine their expertise to bring the glass to life.

DATES BACK TO 1834

Edo Kiriko(江戸切子) is a traditional Japanese glass-cutting craft, celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and intricate designs. Originating during the Edo period of Japan, around 1834, Edo Kiriko has a history of nearly two centuries. It stands as a remarkable testament to Japan's cultural heritage and the artisans' dedication to perfection.

EDO KIRIKO CRAFTING PROCESS

1. Marking (割り出し)
Mark the cutting coordinates on the surface of the glass using guide lines.

2. Rough Cutting (荒摺)
Establish the basic design and outline through initial rough cutting.

3. Detail Cutting (三番)
Focus on refining and detailing the design through precise cutting.

4. Stone Smoothing (石掛け)
Use a stone and water to smooth the cut surface for a polished base.

5. Grinding (研磨)
Polish the glass to achieve a smooth and glossy finish using a grinding machine with water.

6. Polishing (磨き)
Perform the final polishing using a fiber wheel and cerium oxide for a brilliant shine.
