AYA Edo Kiriko Tumbler
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
A truly exquisite example of Edo Kiriko craftsmanship, the pattern on these clear glass tumblers forms a continuous diamond shape that is sure to bring a sense of nostalgia.
The thin glass is pleasant to the palate and brings out the true flavor of the drink. It is perfect for drinking whiskey, Shochu, "Ume-shu (plum wine)," and other alcoholic beverages. Also suitable for drinks such as water and tea.
"Aya" is a general term for diagonally crossed fabrics.
In addition to the beauty of the cutting, the reflections and shadows created when the glass is exposed to light add color to sophisticated bar time.
Packaged in a paulownia wood box, it makes a great gift for those who love to drink.
Hirota Glass is one of the oldest glass makers in Tokyo, founded in 1899. Based on the data of designs handed down to the company since its foundation, Hirota Glass has continued to produce a series of products that harmonize with contemporary home décor, while inheriting the traditional techniques of Japanese glassblowing and Edo Kiriko.

Maker / Brand
When Hirota Glass was founded, Japan was in the Meiji Era (1868 CE–1912 CE), a time marked by the Industrial Revolution and increasing Westernization of the townscapes.
During this era, Japanese and Western arts, crafts, architecture, and designs began to blend. By the Taisho Era (1912 CE–1926 CE), this fusion gave rise to "Taisho Romanticism," a unique aesthetic style of the time.
In 2002, Hirota Tatsuo, the third director of Hirota Glass, began reviving the classic glassware styles popular during the Taisho Era. Today, the exotic charm of Taisho Romanticism continues to be reflected in Hirota Glass's creations.
Origin
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is also a center of craftsmanship. Among them, Edo Glass and Edo Kiriko are traditional Japanese Glassware that have been handed down for about 200 years in Edo City, the old name for the central area of Tokyo.
These beautifully shining glasswares have been refined in Japan's largest consumer city, carrying on the good old Japanese tradition into the modern age.
