Edo Kiriko Amber Red Rainstorm Beneath the Summit

Sale price$359.00

Introducing a masterpiece of art transformed into an everyday luxury – the Katsushika Hokusai-inspired Edo Kiriko glass by Yamada Glass Works. Born in Sumida, the very town our workshop calls home, Hokusai's iconic "Rainstorm Beneath the Summit" finds new life in our carefully crafted glass. Their studio specializes in the Hana-kiriko technique, delicately grinding frosted glass with the same tools used for Edo faceting, a tradition that distinguishes us by its avoidance of glass polishing.

This glass, a homage to Hokusai and the artistic heritage of Sumida, is more than just a vessel for your favorite beverage – it's an immersive experience. Take a moment to revel in the stunning interplay of lights through the intricacies of the Hana-kiriko design, allowing you to sip, savor, and celebrate the fusion of art and utility in every delightful moment.
