About Edo Glass

Edo glass is a traditional craft that has been passed down through generations since the Edo period. Originating in Tokyo, the craft began with the production of mirrors, glasses, and wind chimes in the early 18th century. Over time, it evolved into a regional industry, incorporating techniques and knowledge from Europe and the United States. In 2002, Edo glass was designated as a traditional craft by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and in 2014, it received national recognition as a traditional craft by the Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry. The designs in this series are inspired by Edo-period motifs such as komon patterns and ukiyoe prints, offering a blend of history and artistry in every piece.
