Edo Kiriko – Japanese style cut glass

Edo Kiriko is a cut glass craft dating back about 200 years, to the period when Tokyo was called Edo. These glass artworks are decorated with gorgeous patterns, of which there are over a dozen types, each having its own traditional meaning. Each piece is hand crafted in a highly skilled process. Currently, there are about 100 active Edo Kiriko artisans, ranging from youngsters to veterans, many of whom have become known for fresh and individual designs that are helping to maintain the appeal of this craft.
