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

Fujisan rock glass

 

Fujisan rock glass is the most popular products of Tajima Glass as well as the following Blue and red Mt. Fuji Edo-kiriko sake cups. 

 

 

 

The skillful techinique of the glass craftsmen makes it possible that Mt. Fuji stays in the bottom of the glass. You can enjoy the mountain shows up clearly when you pour whiskey.

 

 

 

 

 

I would like to recommend also special “black” Edo-kiriko glass!

When it comes to the Japanese artist of Mt. Fuji, there is no one who is more famous than Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). The blue glass is designed with “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa“, and red glass with “Fine Wind, Clear Morning“). Both of the artworks are his masterpieces.
