Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This pair of tumblers is adorned with the distinctly Japanese weeping cherry blossom, expertly carved by artisan Otomo Kenji using the Edo Hanakiriko technique. The tumbler's hue is a subtle, pale pink, and aims to evoke a charm and elegant atmosphere, making it perfectly suited for everyday use.
Showcasing the color and state of the drinks within, these tumblers also suit various tabletop materials. The beautiful reflection they cast on the table adds another layer of visual delight. The sizes are ideal for serving Japanese sake, beer, wine, ice tea, or parfait.
Edo Hanakiriko, a variant of the Edo Kiriko technique, was introduced to Japan from England during the Meiji era (1868 CE-1912 CE). It requires the masterful skills of an artisan to etch intricately detailed patterns onto the glass surface. This method is characterized by its use of depth and contrast to depict the elegant cuts of flora.
Only the branches are preliminarily sketched in the rendering of cherry blossoms and branches. Leaves and petals are drawn based on intuition, making each tumbler unique. Not every inch of the surface is covered in patterns, leaving some spaces blank, which reflects the Japanese cultural appreciation for the beauty of negative space.
The cherry blossoms, a motif long cherished by the Japanese, make this Edo Hanakiriko tumbler a delightful choice for personal use or as a thoughtful gift. Being a pair, they are perfectly suited as a wedding gift.
