Otaru Kiriko Old Glass Miyabi

The impression is different no matter where you look
Passionate and bold cut glass
When you think of Kiriko, you think of "Edo Kiriko" or "Satsuma Kiriko." But Otaru Kiriko, born in Otaru, is changing that image. The main feature of Otaru Kiriko is that it uses two-tone glass, amber-colored glass layered over vivid colored glass, as the base. To highlight the contrast between the two colors, the edges are hand-polished to create a smooth finish, creating a unique beauty in which the amber glass shines from the layered colored glass. After cutting, the glass is then finished with fire polishing, which is achieved by burning it with a burner to create a shine, and the craftsmanship and beauty that are not found in other Kiriko glass are expressed.

"Miyabi" is the first design that made the name of Otaru Kiriko known to the world. It features bold cuts that are entangled with the traditional chrysanthemum-connected pattern. Combined with the color of the amber glass at the bottom, it looks like a flame of passion. The irregular cuts give the glass a different impression from every angle, creating the unique charm of this glass.

This heavy, solid old glass is a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the sparkle of Otaru Kiriko while slowly sipping your drink.
Please also take note of the color variations, all of which have a sparkle that will make you want to stare at them forever.

Fukagawa Glass Crafts
Utilizing the craftsmanship of light and fire
Committed to "Otaru Kiriko"
"Otaru Kiriko" was created by Fukagawa Glass Industry, a glass fabric manufacturer originally founded in Fukagawa, Tokyo. They supplied glass fabric to many Edo Kiriko artists, and were highly trusted for their quality and the technology to create colored glass that met their needs.
In 2003, this long-established glass manufacturer with over 100 years of history relocated to Otaru, Hokkaido. With new facilities on a large site, they were able to respond to the detailed requests of Kiriko artists and workshops, and began developing "unique glass and cut items that only a glass fabric manufacturer can do." While learning techniques from Edo Kiriko craftsmen, they continued to develop their own glass fabric, and "Otaru Kiriko" was born. Kiriko from Otaru, which is particular about the cut, glass, and manufacturing method, has captivated the hearts of many people with its vivid sparkle.
The company is also actively working towards the SDGs, including processing recycled glass, recycling snowmelt water, and utilizing waste heat in an environmentally friendly manner, and is attracting attention from around the world.
