Edo Kiriko Glass

Edo-Kiriko is a traditional Japanese craft where master artisans hand-cut brilliant, intricate geometric patterns into layered, colored glass. Originating in 19th-century Tokyo, these breathtaking designs catch the light to mimic the delicate beauty of blooming chrysanthemums, traditional hemp leaves, and shimmering ripples of water.
