Kiriko Studio Shinkou product page URL: https://www.kirikoshinkou.com/formcategory.html Kiriko glass made by independent Kiriko glass artist Saito Hikaru. We have mastered the secret techniques of hand polishing at an Edo Kiriko workshop that has been in business for over 100 years, and we have adopted this polishing method that respects tradition because it offers many benefits to users, even though it may be less productive or less profitable. We strive to create interesting designs while respecting traditional designs. Product Description Product name: Sake cup/celebration toast Dimensions: Mouth diameter φ59mm x height H48mm Capacity: 60ml Product code: SK-G-ki-111 Most sake cup designs are mathematically based, with vertical and horizontal frameworks. So we started working on creating a free-flowing design without any vertical or horizontal framework. The original design was structured logically, but as I was making it I instinctively wanted to cut away a part, and I couldn't resist the urge, so I intuitively cut it away partway through. It's a design that's somewhere between traditional design and originality, and also somewhere between logical/mathematical design and intuitive/artistic design. It's a very well balanced design and I personally really like it. The intention is to allow the bottom to be clearly visible so you can enjoy the color of the drink. It is clear and transparent, so you can see the taste of whiskey or tequila. - Color differences due to materials such as oak barrels and sherry barrels -Differences in aging periods for reposado, añejo, etc. I think the design allows you to fully enjoy the colors of the barrel-aged wine. In addition to that intention, the design aims to raise the quality by adding a pleasant mouthfeel and feel to the touch. To improve the feel, we made some fairly deep cuts near the bottom. We believe that this gives the edge of the sake cup a comfortable feel that is unique to Kiriko. The functionality that creates a sense of texture is what connects to the design, creating functional beauty. There is also intricate detail around the mouth. By rubbing it in a semicircular motion at an angle towards your mouth, it feels very pleasant in your mouth. This smooth texture has a different kind of feel to it than the trendy thin glass. I have identified and considered in my own way the factors that humans consider to be good-tasting. It has been created to meet three of those requirements, and I believe you will be very satisfied with the craftsmanship. This is also a case of design that is the result of pursuing functionality, and functional beauty. A traditional chrysanthemum pattern is cut into the center of the sake cup above the emblem. The Kiku-tsunagi pattern is the most difficult cut among traditional patterns. Chrysanthemums are associated with auspicious meanings such as longevity, good health, and nobility. In addition, some parts are polished and then given a matte finish to give them a frosted glass look. Adding a touch of matte finish brings out the elegance of the sake cup. Since the process involves creating parts to be polished and parts not to be polished, it is time-consuming and prone to mistakes, so I think most craftsmen do not perform the erasing process. I hope you will see this as an improvement in grade. Finally, to summarize the features of this glass, -A design somewhere between traditional and original -Design that is somewhere between logic and intuition - The deep cut edge near the bottom feels nice to the touch. ・Good taste ・The difficulty level of the link has been cut ・It has been designed so that a triangle appears when viewed from above. - Matte finish for a luxurious look -I think the interesting shape of the sole makes it feel nice to the touch. We hope you will consider purchasing these products for yourself, as gifts, for celebrations, to make them look good on Instagram, or to improve your store's brand image.
