The rich brilliance and the striking expression of the glass with its sharp edges. A beautiful Satsuma Kiriko sake cup. The pattern resembles the dance of falling leaves, complemented by a gentle green that is very attractive.
[History of Satsuma Kiriko]
During the mid-Edo period, cut glass that was introduced to Nagasaki first began to be produced in Osaka, and eventually spread to Edo (Tokyo), where it flourished as Japan's unique cut glass "Edo Kiriko."
In the late Edo period, influenced by "Edo Kiriko," Satsuma Kiriko was created in Satsuma, a region thriving with Nanban culture, by layering colored glass and applying cuts to the surface.
"**Satsuma Kiriko**," backed by the Japanese people's unique sensibility, boasted high technical skill and beauty recognized worldwide. However, during the tumultuous end of the Edo period, all workshops were abolished, and the craft was short-lived and disappeared.
The fallen "Satsuma Kiriko" was forgotten for over a hundred years, but at the end of the 20th century, it was restored and reproduced in Osaka, and its beautiful form was magnificently revived.
[What is Takumi Kiriko?]
Takumi Takumi, who was involved in the restoration of the extinct "Satsuma Kiriko" in Osaka, continued to utilize his high-level skills in Osaka to create and nurture a new trend in cut glass called "Takumi Kiriko."
The essence of "Takumi Kiriko" lies in its sharp edges and brilliance, achieved through a unique cutting technique and meticulous hand polishing.
"Takumi Kiriko" is a beautifully original cut glass that is rich in creativity based on the tradition of "Satsuma Kiriko," supported by solid craftsmanship.
It will be delivered in a dedicated paulownia (kiri) box.
