The Art of Edo Kiriko
A Legacy of Light and Form
Behold the journey of glass transformed. Each piece of Edo Kiriko is born from the hands of a master artisan, who, through a series of meticulous and precise stages, sculpts, carves, and polishes raw material into a dazzling work of art. The result is a symphony of light and pattern, a testament to the harmony of skill and tradition.
Meet the Artisan
Haga Masaomi
Every pattern begins with light.
Inside a quiet workshop in Tokyo, our Edo Kiriko master spends hours hand-cutting crystal with unwavering precision.
There are no shortcuts.
No machines replacing the craftsman's touch.
Only decades of mastery, passed from one generation to the next.
Every facet captures more than light—it preserves a living legacy.
Phase I
Glass Forming
The journey begins with molten glass, typically a two-layered composition featuring a clear core sheathed in a vibrant colored layer. This material is masterfully shaped into its final silhouette through the time-honored techniques of hand-blowing or molding.
Glass Forming
Phase II
Marking (Waridashi - 割り出し)
Next, the artisan precisely maps the intricate, geometric design onto the glass surface. This crucial step is performed with meticulous care, using a fine pigment or a specialized tool to lay down the coordinates for the future pattern.
Marking (Waridashi - 割り出し)
Phase III
Rough Cutting (Arasuri - 荒摺)
The first cuts are made. Using a coarse-grit rotating wheel, the artisan meticulously carves the foundational lines of the design, establishing the deep, definitive outlines that will serve as the pattern's framework.

Phase IV
Detail Cutting (Sanban - 三番)
This is followed by a phase of exquisite refinement. The same cuts are revisited with a finer-grit wheel, allowing for the precise sharpening of each line and the addition of the delicate, intricate motifs that are the hallmark of traditional Edo Kiriko.
Detail Cutting (Sanban - 三番)
Phase V
Stone Smoothing (Ishigake - 石掛け)
The cut surfaces are then meticulously honed. An artisan uses a whetstone and water to gently abrade the glass, eliminating any rough edges left by the cutting process and preparing the surface for its final brilliance.

Phase VI
Polishing (Migaki - 磨き)
The final and most transformative step. The glass is brought to a brilliant, flawless clarity and luminous shine. This critical process reveals the vivid, striking contrast between the vibrant colored layer and the pure clear glass beneath, illuminating the masterfully carved pattern in its full glory.
