A passionate guinomi cup that shows a new face at every angle
Though many associate “Kiriko” glasswork with Edo or Satsuma traditions, Otaru Kiriko is a distinctly different style from Otaru, Hokkaidō.
What sets it apart is its dual-layered glass—an amber core enveloped in a vibrant color layer. The artisan polishes the edges by hand to reveal the glowing amber underneath, creating a stunning visual contrast.
Further, the fire polish technique adds a glossy, refined finish after cutting, emphasizing the brilliance of the cuts.
The “Miyabi” design launched Otaru Kiriko into the spotlight.
Its bold, powerful cutting style mixes with traditional chrysanthemum patterns, while the amber base layer gives off the warmth of a living flame.
Because the cuts are irregular, the glass reveals different impressions depending on your perspective—making it a unique piece to gaze upon.
This guinomi glass fits in the palm of your hand, letting you enjoy the play of light directly.
Whether for sake, desserts, or appetizers, it elevates the entire experience.
Fukagawa Glass Craft
Experts in glass and flame—creators of Otaru Kiriko
Fukagawa Glass began as a supplier of base glass in Tokyo’s Fukagawa district, supporting Edo Kiriko artisans.
In 2003, they relocated to Otaru, Hokkaidō, and began producing their own original glass and styles.
By combining Edo Kiriko traditions with new glassmaking techniques, they created a distinct form: Otaru Kiriko.
They’ve also earned attention abroad for their commitment to sustainability—recycling glass, recovering heat and water, and supporting the UN’s SDGs.
