Edo kiriko
Edo kiriko, a traditional handicraft designated by the Japanese government, is a traditional craft of downtown Tokyo that has continued since the Edo period.
The glass is melted at 1,350 degrees Celsius, and then cut (shaved) carefully one by one by a skilled Edo-kiriko craftsman.
The cut glass reveals the inner transparent glass through the colored glass on the surface, creating a wonderful contrast between the transparent and colored glass and highlighting the traditional patterns and hana-kiriko designs.
