Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) will hold the "Edo Kiriko / Glass Crafts that Color Your Life" fair from March 5th with the desire to "enjoy and beautifully produce your life" through beautiful traditional Japanese crafts. It will be held at stores and online stores.

This time, we will hold a fair with beautiful Edo Kiriko vessels made by Japanese traditional craftsmen, as well as Japanese cut glass produced by mature techniques.
Edo Kiriko has been developed by craftsmen from England during the Edo period, who introduced the technique of cut glass to Japanese craftsmen. Today, Edo Kiriko is recognized as a nationally designated traditional Japanese craft, and its beauty is highly evaluated worldwide.
This time, Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore proposes glass craft vessels centered on Edo Kiriko with a new design that incorporates trends that match modern lifestyles, and Edo Kiriko with a lucky pattern that values traditional Japanese taste. I will do it. In addition, as a special project, glasses limited to the Tsutaya bookstore in China will be sold in Japan for a limited time.
Please enjoy this opportunity to familiarize yourself with traditional Japanese crafts and techniques loved at home and abroad, and to meet new trends in glass crafts at stores and online stores.

- Introducing the fair ① ｜ "Edo kiriko Mermaid / Dots" for a scene of everyday life
KIMOTO GLASS TOKYO's new "Edo kiriko" series will be released as an Edo kiriko that fits the modern lifestyle where glasses are used in various dishes and spaces, in contrast to the traditional image of "Japanese" and "lucky things" of Edo kiriko. ..
Kazushi Oba, a traditional craftsman, is soft in a glass that is particular about usability such as "smoky color" that is compatible with other vessels and table scenes and is easy to hold and wash. I have made a cut of the design that feels. The name of the cut is also adopted, such as "Mermaid" and "Dots", which makes it easy for domestic and overseas customers to understand the design.

- Introducing the fair ② ｜ I want to use it as a seasonal dining table or as a gift. Traditional Edo Kiriko as a lucky charm
From the "Edo Kiriko Saiho" series, you can see works with motifs that have been cherished since ancient times in Japan, such as the "Kikutsugi pattern" glass, which has an impressive traditional geometric pattern of Edo Kiriko. I will propose. Each of the traditional Japanese people has a meaning of auspiciousness.
The "chrysanthemum connection pattern" is named because the fine cuts appear to be a series of "chrysanthemums" that have the meaning of immortality and longevity. Since ancient times, Japanese people have taken great care of patterns and their meanings, and have adopted them in their daily lives. It is a gem that you want to give with the feeling that you want big people to always be healthy and happy.
Please feel the traditional craftsmanship of Kosetsu Cemetery, which has been passed down from ancient times along with the feelings of Japanese people.

- Introducing the fair ③ "Dragon" and "Phoenix" kiriko with a lively feeling in red glass. A Chinese limited series is available for a limited time.
Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore has been proposing KIMOTO GLASS TOKYO's glass craft series "Inner Black" for a long time. This series uses an "inner cover" that covers the inside with colored glass instead of the "outer cover" that covers the transparent glass that is used in general glass crafts, and the colored glass floats. It is characterized by the impression that it is. Since the abrasive is sprayed in the space of the glass, it is necessary to spray evenly on the part near the bottom surface, which is a very difficult technique. The fact that the carved parts are even and the detailed design can be expressed is proof of the high skill of the craftsmen.
When two Tsutaya bookstores opened in China last year, we planned and sold "Inner Red" as a China-only model of this product, which was popular with overseas inbound customers at Ginza Tsutaya bookstore. Doing. At this fair, this model will be sold in Japan for a limited time.
I am conscious of the dynamic and dynamic motifs that seem to pop out of the glass and start moving, and I am inspired by Chinese picture scrolls and Japanese folding screen paintings. The detailed design that conveys the technical capabilities of sandblasting by Japanese craftsmen is also a highlight. The "Phoenix" motif, which is not found in the regular Inner Black series, is also available only this time.
How about a commemorative gift for your loved one?
