☆What's Kiriko? In Japan, cut glasses are called “Kiriko”. There are several kinds of Kiriko, but all of them were started at the end of the Edo Period, which is during national isolation, by imitating few European glass products imported to Japan during that period. In the Edo Period, Edo Kiriko was clear glasses cut with the designs of Japanese traditional patterns used in textile or interior decorations, which made Edo Kiriko culture of the Edo Period. The simple beauty of designs and clear, deep cuts attracted people in the Edo period. At that time, glasses had been cut with a carving knife by hand,which takes the entire day. In the present Era, glasses are cut by a wheel run by machines, but the inherited technique and tradition remain until today. Today many craftsman have been working on cutting Kiriko glasses in Tokyo. Nowadays the demand of Edo Kiriko as a gift has been rising, so the number of high quality glasses with colors is increasing. Variation of designs and techniques by each craftsman have been diverse and more and more beautiful and graceful glasses have been created.
