Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This is a glass bowl with makiage pattern from the Taisho Roman glass series by Hirota Glass, a long-established glass manufacturer in Tokyo.
Makiage is a traditional tie-dyeing technique used in kimono making. This method creates intricate patterns that convey an aura of elegance and grace.
This pattern is created by the aburidashi "invisible ink" technique, which uses specially blended glass materials to form an opalescent, milky-white design. The patterns emerge due to the sudden change in temperature when the molten glass comes into contact with a precisely engraved mold.

Maker / Brand
Founded in 1899 during Japan’s transformative Meiji era (1868–1912 CE), Hirota Glass stands as one of Tokyo’s oldest glassmakers. With over a century of expertise, the company preserves the delicate techniques of Edo glass and Edo Kiriko while reimagining classic styles. From soft Taisho-era (1912–1926 CE) curves to modern reinterpretations, each piece embodies a dedication to beauty, function, and traditional Japanese charm.
Crafts
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is also a hub of craftsmanship. Among its many traditions, Edo Glass and Edo Kiriko are types of glassware that have been passed down for around 200 years in Edo—the former name for central Tokyo.
Their luminous surfaces echo centuries of craftsmanship, born in what was once Edo and still thriving in modern Tokyo.

Kobachi Small Bowls
Kobachi, literally “small bowls” in Japanese, are designed for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate but smaller than a main course or ramen bowl, kobachi are just the right size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating one or several kobachi bowls into a table setting and arranging dishes of different sizes and colors lends your meal an authentic Japanese atmosphere.
This category includes bowls with diameters under 12.9 cm (5.1 in).
