Beyond Calculated Brilliance
A different world unfolds with this Edo Kiriko flower
This glass stands out for its delicate fine lines and bold teardrop-shaped cut when viewed from the side. When exposed to light, it radiates a splendid brilliance. The traditional “nanako” (fish roe) pattern is engraved on the bottom, and when viewed from above, it resembles a sunflower in full bloom. It's a piece made to enjoy a drink while admiring a blossoming flower. The impression changes depending on the viewing angle, offering a new surprise with each use.
A master of traditional craftsmanship said, “Among all Edo Kiriko pattern combinations, this is the most beautiful.” The cut has been designed to reflect light in the most beautiful way possible. The glass, in a soft yellow hue, captures the image of a sunflower better than any other. Under the light, it even appears golden, enhancing its elegance. The finely polished surfaces reflect the light gently, making this a product you’ll never tire of looking at.
Special attention has also been given to the shape of the glass. Its dome shape—rare in Edo Kiriko—was chosen because it best highlights the beauty of the pattern and light when viewed from above. Its smooth curve fits perfectly in the palm of the hand, also offering an excellent drinking experience.

Founded in 1960
The workshop of a master craftsman fascinated by transparency and light
Toa Glass Craft was established in 1960 as an Edo Kiriko workshop. Initially, it specialized in industrial glass cutting, such as whisky bottles, and trained over 200 artisans. Later, the focus shifted to producing Edo Kiriko. Today, the workshop is led by a father—recognized as a “Tokyo Meister” by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government—and his son, a certified traditional craft artisan. Together, they manage made-to-order projects, custom orders, and original design work.
What sets artisan Satoshi Nabetani apart is his emphasis on “transparency and light.” He uses vessels with layered translucent colored glass, and designs pieces in which a large part of the top layer is removed to expose the clear glass beneath—reflecting his philosophy that “the charm of Edo Kiriko lies in the light.”
His dedication to selecting vessels that enhance transparency and light results in an Edo Kiriko that continues to reveal new expressions depending on how the light strikes it.
