Taiburou Workshop Edo Kiriko Glass Pair Mount Fuji Wave Pattern Old Fashioned Glasses Red Blue Made in Japan

Product Description

Experience the elegance of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with this exquisite Edo faceted glass set. This set includes two beautifully handcrafted glasses, each with a full capacity of 220ml, and comes packaged in a wooden box for a refined presentation. The glasses are made from soda glass and are crafted in Japan, showcasing the artistry and heritage of Edo faceting, a technique that dates back to the Edo period (1603-1867). Each piece is individually handmade by skilled artisans, ensuring unique characteristics such as slight variations in size, color, and occasional small bubbles, which do not affect the quality of the product.

The design motifs are inspired by Hokusai Katsushika's iconic "Fugaku Sanjurokkei" series, featuring the "Red Fuji" from "Triumphant Clear Sky" and the "Wave Fuji" from "Kanagawa Okinamiura." These motifs celebrate the sacred and symbolic Mount Fuji, a World Heritage site since 2013, revered as a symbol of beauty and good fortune. The intricate patterns are achieved through a two-layered glass technique, where colored glass is blown over transparent glass and then engraved, creating a stunning contrast between the cut portions and the outer colored glass. The sandblasted depiction of Mount Fuji adds a touch of artistry to this handmade glassware.
