The Peacock’s Plume and the Master’s Blade
Translating Nature's Finest Detail into Cut Japanese Crystal
This Edo Kiriko piece was inspired by a moment of profound observation: the structure of a single, iridescent peacock feather.
Master Artisan Kenji sought to translate the feather's fluid, shimmering motion into the geometric precision of cut crystal.
- The Plume: Deep, flowing diagonal cuts trace the elegant movement of the feathers.
- The Eye: The intricate kikko (tortoiseshell) pattern creates a dense, layered shimmer, mimicking the iridescent 'eye' of the plume when light catches the amber whisky.
The result is a design that captures the natural elegance of the peacock within the rigorous, brilliant artistry of traditional Kiriko.
Detailing the Highly Complex Peacock Feather Pattern
The Art of the Cut
The peacock feather pattern on this Edo Kiriko glass is classified as Highly Complex, demanding exceptional skill from the Kiriko master. Achieving this intricate design requires executing extremely fine cuts—shallow, uniform lines that preserve the glass's integrity—alongside precise, flowing organic curvature instead of simple straight lines. The intense detail, high density, and close-set cuts necessary to create the illusion of overlapping layers make this feather pattern a clear mark of exceptional artisan mastery and experience.
A Legacy Forged by the Hand of the Master
This is not merely glassware; it is a direct lineage to a Traditional Craft of Japan, a testament to mastery passed down through generations. Each majestic stroke of the Peacock motif is executed freehand with unparalleled precision on a swiftly rotating wheel. This demanding, labor-intensive artistry eschews all modern automation, imbuing the crystal with the soul and signature of the artisan. The result is a sculptural rarity—a singular object of impeccable craftsmanship that defies mass production.
The Optical Ballet of Color and Light two
The profound allure of this tumbler lies in its layered Irokise glass—a canvas of deep, jewel-toned color veiled over flawless clear amber crystal. The meticulous cutting process deliberately breaches this outer sheath, unleashing a spectacular optical ballet. The facets capture and refract light with a brilliant, prism-like intensity, creating a breathtaking luminosity and sharp, sparkling contrast that makes the Peacock appear to shimmer with life. This radiant effect is the very hallmark of true Edo Kiriko artistry.
Exclusivity and Esteem for the Connoisseur
To possess this glass is to acquire a piece of Japanese cultural heritage. The ambitious Peacock design is a complex, high-art form that demands a superlative level of skill and time, placing it far beyond standard geometric patterns. As a genuine article of Edo Kiriko, its status is elevated from a functional item to an investment-grade collectible. It signifies not just a taste for fine spirits, but a deep appreciation for enduring tradition, scarcity, and the pursuit of unparalleled elegance.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
