Pink Checkered Whiskey Glass

This stunning whiskey glass combines a traditional checkered pattern with circles and a starburst at the base, showing off the finery of Edo Kiriko cut glass. In a refined red-pink color and featuring a tapered base, this glass feels at once modern and timeless. Combining the techniques of colored and cut glass takes extreme skill, making this a truly special piece.

The checked ichimatsu pattern is lucky, symbolizing eternity, development, and prosperity. The alternation of colored and clear glass creates a striking visual contrast. The glass’s textured exterior and sturdy weight give it a pleasing tactile feel.

Use this glass with Japanese whisky, soda on rocks, and more. Its gently tapered shape also makes it suitable for non-alcoholic beverages. Bring effortless elegance to any drink or home bar with the artistry of Japanese glass.

Kadowaki Glass

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.

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.
