The glass industry in Edo, Tokyo, is said to have begun in the early 18th century, producing mirrors, eyeglasses, wind chimes, and other items. With the Meiji era beginning, Edo-period techniques were preserved while new knowledge and techniques were introduced from Europe and the United States, resulting in the development of a local industry through the Taisho and Showa periods. In 2002, it was designated a traditional craft of Tokyo, and in 2014, it was designated a national traditional craft by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. Taiburo Studio's Edo Glass series features designs based on komon patterns and ukiyo-e prints, beloved since the Edo period. We hope you enjoy our individually handmade "Edo Glass." As all our products are hand-blown glass, there may be slight variations in size and color, and small air bubbles may remain, but this does not affect the quality. Perfect for cold sake glasses. Also makes a great gift or souvenir from overseas. Our products are widely used as gifts for weddings, births, housewarmings, 60th birthdays, 70th birthdays, 77th birthdays, wedding favors and thank you gifts, birthday presents, Mother's Day and Father's Day, recovery gifts, entrance and graduation gifts, employment gifts, promotion gifts, retirement gifts, and souvenirs. Each piece has been painstakingly carved by skilled artisans, based on the motif of "Fine Wind, Clear Morning" (Red Fuji), a masterpiece from Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." Mount Fuji is considered sacred and a symbol of Japan and beauty, and was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2013. The red Fuji dyed in the morning sun is also considered a symbol of good fortune.
