Founded fifty years ago by Kadowaki Kenji, glassware workshop Kadowaki Glass now operates under second-generation artisan Kadowaki Yuji, a 35-year veteran of Edo Kiriko and certified Master of Traditional Craft. Every piece is meticulously hand-cut in the time-honored style, preserving expressive patterns from the Edo period (1603–1868 CE). At the same time, Kadowaki Glass continually introduces fresh designs and expands into new markets, driven by an unceasing quest for perfection.
