About the craft

A Tokyo tradition

A clear surface becomes a field of light.

Edo Kiriko is the art of cutting patterns into glass by hand. Its roots are traced to 1834, when glass merchant Kyūbei Kagaya began engraving glass in Edo.

Edo Kiriko turns exact cuts into changing reflections, preserving the evidence of the hand in every finished piece.
