THE GALLERY — EVERY PIECE, ITS OWN EXPRESSION

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.

Born in Japan, Edo Kiriko is a cut-glass art defined by precision, patience and the movement of light. From the first guide line to the final polish, every stage reveals more of the pattern, color and depth within the glass.

EDO KIRIKO - From First Line to Final Light

STEP 01

THE EDO KIRIKO PROCESS (KIRIKO KAKO - 切子加工)

Edo Kiriko begins with a formed glass vessel and a rotating cutting wheel. Guided by hand, the surface is gradually carved to create the lines, facets and depth that define the finished design.

STEP 02

VERTICAL GUIDELINES (WARIDASHI: TATE-SEN - 割り出し・縦線)

The artisan begins by marking vertical reference lines around the glass. These guides establish the spacing, alignment and proportions that will direct every cut that follows.

STEP 03

HORIZONTAL GUIDELINES (WARIDASHI: YOKO-SEN - 割り出し・横線)

The glass is steadily rotated as horizontal and circular guides are added. Together with the vertical lines, they create a balanced framework across the curved surface.

STEP 04

DIAGONAL GUIDELINES (WARIDASHI: NANAME-SEN - 割り出し・斜線)

Diagonal guides connect the established reference points and define the geometry of the design. Their placement determines how the finished pattern will flow around the glass.

STEP 05

ROUGH CUTTING (ARAZURI - 粗摺り)

Holding the glass against a wet, coarse diamond wheel, the artisan cuts the principal grooves into the surface. These first cuts establish the direction, depth and underlying structure of the pattern.

STEP 06

REVEALING THE COLOR LAYER (IRO-KISE GARASU NO KEZURIDASHI - 色被せガラスの削り出し)

As the cuts pass through the colored outer layer, the clear glass beneath begins to emerge. This contrast between color and clarity gives Edo Kiriko its distinctive depth and luminous definition.

STEP 07

DETAIL CUTTING (SANBANGAKE - 三番掛け)

A finer diamond wheel returns to the initial framework, sharpening the edges, refining the curves and adding narrower secondary cuts. The pattern becomes increasingly precise and intricate.

STEP 08

STONE SMOOTHING (ISHIKAKE - 石掛け)

Using water and a fine natural or artificial stone, the artisan smooths the surfaces left rough by cutting. This careful refinement removes uneven edges and prepares every groove for polishing.

STEP 09

POLISHING & BUFFING (MIGAKI / BAFUGAKE - 磨き・バフ掛け)

The cut surfaces are polished with fine abrasives until their transparency and brilliance return. Final buffing brings out a clean, luminous finish and allows light to travel freely through every facet.

STEP 10

CLEANING & INSPECTION (SENJO / KENPIN - 洗浄・検品)

The glass is thoroughly cleaned and dried before being examined from every angle. The alignment, clarity, edges and overall finish of the pattern are carefully inspected.

STEP 11

THE FINISHED PIECE (KANSEI - 完成)

With the final polish complete, Edo Kiriko reveals its full character—crisp lines, luminous contrast and patterns that shift beautifully with the light. What began as a series of guide lines becomes a finished piece made to be enjoyed, displayed, collected or given.

Glasses are really nice and presentation in the boxes was awesome! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is I felt they are a bit small personally. I’d like them to be a bit larger.
