Green Flower Petals Guinomi Sake Cup

The guinomi sake cup boasts a design reminiscent of a blossoming flower. The center of its base is hexagonal, while the sides are adorned with a chrysanthemum-linked pattern.

It is entirely handcrafted by traditional craftsman, Kiyohide. The unusual bright green hue of the Edo Kiriko cut glass complements the design, evoking a sense of modernity and individuality within tradition.

Despite the intricate appearance of cutting work, the process is brought to completion by his fluid and smooth motions, honed over decades of training. The meticulous patterns change expressions with lighting, emanating a delicate glow that captivates the viewer, whether under natural light or when illuminated in darkness.

The surface's texture ensures that the glass doesn't easily slip from your grasp, and the round form, combined with the moderate weight, makes it ergonomic.

Made of glass for a smooth drinking experience, it is perfect for slowly savoring chilled sake. This piece embodies the chic and pleasant sake time unique to Edo Kiriko.

As a certified member of the privileged Edo Kiriko Cooperative Association and a nationally acclaimed craftsperson, Kiyohide presents us with the utmost refined and sophisticated designs in the art of crystal glassware.

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.
