Kiyohide Glass Green Amber Whirlwind Edo Kiriko Guinomi Sake Cup
Experience a spell-binding refraction of green and amber hues when the light hits the faceted surface of this Edo Kiriko guinomi sake cup. True to a centuries-old tradition of cutting intricate patterns onto the surface, this sake cup showcases exceptional complexity of design.
Kikutsunagi, a popular traditional pattern of accurately intersecting lines that create a swarm of chrysanthemum flowers, is twisted into a graceful whirlwind design. The alternating vivid greens and mellow ambers that swerve diagonally across the transparent glass surface create an intermingling color effect.
The intricacy of the Edo Kiriko technique on this glass inspires intimate observation, whether with frequent use or on special occasions. With a capacity of 70 ml (2.3 oz), this cup is ideal for indulging in a slightly larger serving of sake that can comfortably last for several sips.
Presented in a beautiful paulownia wood box, ensuring it remains in pristine condition, this cup makes a splendid gift for someone dear.
Each Edo Kiriko glass is made by hand by the artisan Kiyohide in his workshop called Kirameki, which means “The Refined Light.” Kiyohide has honed his craft over decades of dedication, earning him the title of Edo Kiriko Craftsperson, an honor reserved only for those who have proved their craftsmanship of the technique.
