Japanese art consists of a wide range of art styles and media that includes ancient pottery, sculpture, ink painting and calligraphy on silk and paper, ukiyo-e paintings and woodblock prints, ceramics, origami, bonsai. On this series, we focus on glass art. Each piece undergoes a meticulous process that involves shaping, coloring, and decorating. The intricate techniques involved require immense skill, precision, and time. The clarity of the hand-made glass is another indicator of quality. The high-quality glass should be clear and transparent, allowing you to see through it without distortion.

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.
