Kiriko glass made by independent Kiriko glass artist Saito Hikaru.
We learned the secret techniques of hand polishing at an Edo Kiriko workshop that was founded over 100 years ago, and even though we consider the productivity and profitability of the technique low, we value the tradition and want to deliver authentic Kiriko to our users, so we also value the technique of hand polishing.

The name is "Sake cup with three random cut patterns (Rangiri Mitsumonyo)."
I put a lot of thought into creating interesting designs that I believe in, but I also created this design because I wanted to prove that I can also create quality works from an ordinary person's perspective.
In general, it seems that the winning works in both Edo Kiriko and Satsuma Kiriko are biased towards works that simply involve carving out the main frame and then adding intricate patterns within it.
So I designed it based on my own idea of what it would look like.
I struggled a lot with where to cut the three lines and made several prototypes.
As a result, I think we've landed on a balance that is pleasant to look at today.
The main frame features three traditional motifs: chrysanthemum pattern, hemp leaf pattern, and arrow pattern.
To make the hemp leaves look better, they are cut about twice as finely as usual.
The rough cuts in the outline are a modern expression, but the pattern itself is traditional, and I think it successfully blends the past and the present.
We hope you will consider purchasing this product for yourself, as a gift, or to improve your store's brand image.
