which began about 200years in Edo period.
The glasswares decorated with cutting
into their thick surface all over fascinated

Since then it has been handed down as tecknique.
This ware, overlaid color on colorless clear glass and given a delicated
cutting, is created for the beatiful world woven from light and color.
We can say it is a fruit of the pursuit of beauty harmonized with contemporary
practical use, maintaining the tradition of Edo Kiriko.
