The traditional craftwork "Edo Kiriko" designated by the country is a traditional craftwork of Tokyo downtown from the Edo period.
Edge Kiriko craftsmen with skillful techniques  cut (shave) carefully the glass one by one finishing up.
The glass melting at 1350 degrees with a skilled technique into a transparent structure and a colored glass double structure.
By cutting it you can see the inner transparent glass from the surface color glass and the splendid contrast of transparent and
colored glass will emerge with traditional patterns and flower Kiriko design.

The cut of Edo Kiriko is really beautiful.
When I take it in my hand and look at it from various directions, it shines beautifully like a kaleidoscope.
Please enjoy from various directions, from the top, from the bottom and diagonally.
Traditional patterns of Edo such as Landscape and animal are drawn as theme on the glass.
The contrast between the beauty of cutting of glass and the pattern on the box is matched perfectly and very elegant. You will never gets tired of watching.
