About Hirota Glass

History of Hirota Glass

When Hirota Glass was founded, Japan was in the Meiji Period (1868-1912). It was also the era of Japan's Industrial Revolution, and the townscapes of Japan became increasingly Westernized.

Arts and crafts, architectures, and designs of Japanese and Western cultures blended together, and by the Taisho Period (1912-1926), the "Taisho Romanticism", a style of aesthetics unique to that era, was born.

As time passed, Tatsuo HIROTA, the third director of Hirota Glass, started to revive the classic style of glassware that was popular in the Taisho Period since 2002. Now the exotic charm of Taisho Romanticism aesthetics has been passed down to the present Hirota Glass.
