Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese craft of cut glass, originating in Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the 19th century, known for its intricate, geometric patterns etched onto clear or colored glass surfaces. "Edo Kiriko" translates to "cut glass from the city of Edo," a reference to Tokyo's name during the Edo period (1603-1868). The craft is characterized by the meticulous hand-cutting of glass, using grindstones and other tools to create intricate patterns. The dedication to perfection and the art behind each piece represent the aspects that justify the exclusivity and the higher price.
