"Sunakiriko," an Evolved Form of Edo Kiriko | Sakura-Patterned Katakuchi Glass & Tray Set
The glass bottom is finished flat using the "Hirakirikko" (flat-surface grinding) technique, ensuring stability. Furthermore, by combining this with a world-class sandblasting technique capable of engraving lines as fine as 0.09mm, which is rare even in Japan, an entirely new Edo Kiriko, "Sunakiriko," was born. The sides feature the Hirakirikko technique, and the bottom sandblasted, allowing it to utilize the reflection of light, creating a unique beauty.
◇ Cherry Blossoms Bloom on the Endearingly Round and Cute Katakuchi Glass
Cherry blossom patterns bloom on both the sides and bottom of this round and adorable Katakuchi glass. When you pour sake into the glass, the cherry blossom pattern engraved on the bottom reflects onto the sides, creating an expanding circular view of cherry blossoms.
This piece uses a dual-layered cased glass, with a pink-colored glass known as "Kin'aka" (gold red) overlaid on a light blue base. We use custom-ordered "Irokise Glass" (colored cased glass), often used in Edo Kiriko, to express the scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom. The color scheme is also perfect for milestone and seasonal gifts.
◇ Accompanied by the Symbolism of Cherry Blossoms
Cherry blossoms symbolize "spiritual beauty," "graceful woman," and "purity" in Japan, making it a fitting gift for your special someone. The product will be delivered in a dedicated drawstring bag and a Kiri (paulownia) wood box.
