"Edo Glass" refers to glass crafted by artisans, a traditional technique passed down since the Edo period. 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."

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."
