Edo Kiriko is a traditional colored glass craft of Tokyo developed during the Edo period. First a glassblower blows clear glass into a paper-thin shape of colored glass and then rotates it to make the overall form. The result is a two-layer structure with colored glass on the outside and clear glass on the inside. Edo Kirikokan (江戸切子館) is a gallery shop for Edo Kiriko cut glass. Edo Kirikokan produces in its own cutting studio attached to the gallery and also represents a group of independent craftsmen. It is run by the Hirota family, which is in the glass business since 1899.

EDOKIRIKO:
This highly refined style bloomed during the Edo period and focusses on carving detailed patterns on glass. At that time, glass was an imported luxury item, only sold to high ranking classes as artworks. Therefore, unique, beautiful designs were essential. "Edo Kiriko" in 2002 was recognized as an official traditional Japanese handicraft. It is even presented as gift from Japan to world leaders at various occasions. The patterns are very detailed and require accuracy down to 0.1 millimeter. Today, only around 90 craftsmen still master this skill.

<HIROTA GLASS The pioneer of Japanese Glassware since 1899 >

The colors, designs and immaculate craftsmanship of Hirota Glass will have you in awe with every use. Over time, they established themselves as a pioneer in the Japanese handmade glassware industry and became well known and awarded for their signature style; combining European traditional glassmaking techniques with Japanese traditional post-war designs. Enjoy their breathtaking designs, through their original tea- and sake ware, tableware and home decoration.
