A different impression from every angle
A glass with bold, passionate cuts
Unlike traditional Edo or Satsuma Kiriko, Otaru Kiriko stands out with its two-layer design: amber glass at the base overlaid with vibrant color. Hand-polished edges reveal the glowing amber inside, producing a radiant beauty.
The fire polish technique adds a refined shine, further setting Otaru Kiriko apart from other styles.
“Miyabi” was the very first design to make Otaru Kiriko famous. Bold cuts intertwine with traditional chrysanthemum patterns, and the amber base evokes passionate flames. The irregular cutting creates shifting impressions depending on the viewing angle.
This guinomi-style cup allows you to admire the shine in the palm of your hand. It’s not only ideal for sake but also perfect for small appetizers or desserts.
Each sparkles so intensely, it's hard to look away.
Fukagawa Glass Craft
Masters of light and fire, uniquely devoted to Otaru Kiriko
Fukagawa Glass, founded in Tokyo, began as a base-glass supplier for Edo Kiriko craftsmen.
In 2003, they moved to Otaru and started crafting unique products and glass materials based on their own techniques—giving rise to Otaru Kiriko.
They’re also committed to SDGs, using recycled glass, meltwater recovery, and heat recycling systems that have attracted international attention.Product Details

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.
