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 with chrysanthemum and tortoiseshell pattern Dimensions: Mouth diameter φ59mm x height H48mm Capacity: 60ml Product code: SK-G-ki-109 This is an upgraded traditional piece, with the traditional chrysanthemum motif in the center and a tortoiseshell pattern cut into the bottom. This piece is intended to elevate the design of a purely traditional style, eschewing originality. The quality of the chrysanthemum connection has been improved by making the squares much smaller and cutting them finely. There are probably only a handful of craftsmen in Japan who can cut such fine chrysanthemum connections, so we hope you enjoy this top-class craftsmanship from Japan. Although tortoise shell is a traditional Japanese pattern, it is a relatively minor pattern in the world of Kiriko. I don't think you'll see this very often in other workshops. Since it is quite difficult to make, many craftsmen may not choose the tortoiseshell design at all. As you can see from the photos and videos, the tortoiseshell part projects images from various angles like a kaleidoscope, so I think it would be fun to actually use it. It is quite clear and transparent, even among sake cups, so it is perfect for those who want to enjoy the color of their drink. Even when drinking high-quality whiskey straight from a sake cup, you can still fully enjoy the color that comes from barrel aging. Both the chrysanthemum motif and the tortoise shell motif are auspicious motifs that have positive meanings in terms of health, such as longevity and good health. The area around the mouth is rubbed so that it is hollowed inward. I analyzed what makes something taste good in the mouth in my own way and identified the conditions that humans need to make something taste good in the mouth. It meets about three of those requirements, so I think you'll like it. The feel on the mouth is different from the thin glasses that are popular these days, and I think this one is more comfortable to use. As the name suggests, the tortoiseshell material has a rough texture that feels like you are touching a tortoiseshell. The reason for choosing this tortoiseshell pattern was that "I wanted it to be interesting not only for the visual sense, but also for the tactile sense." Although it lacks originality, I believe that by paying attention to details such as the feel in the mouth and the texture, I have created a piece of timeless beauty that is an elevated version of a traditional design. We hope you will consider purchasing this product for yourself, as a gift, or to improve your store's brand image.
