The combination of the Japanese traditional glass and symbolic mountain

Since the birth of the Edo glass , the craftsmen had invented a variety of the patterns and form for the cut glass. It developed as the Edo-kiriko cut glass (it was 1800’s in Edo).

Though the traditional cut glass was regarded as an old‐fashioned thing one time, the craftsmen cooperated with the designers and have created the newly designed products. The Edo-kiriko with the appearance of Mt. Fuji is one of those.

Curious to say, the beautiful and symbolic mountain hadn’t shown up the world of the Edo glass. The combination of the traditional Edo glass and Mt. Fuji created the wonderful Japanese glassware as never before. I would like to introduce the Mt. Fuji Edo glass products from Amazon.com
