KAGAMI Crystal Edo-Kiriko Pair Sake Glass - Edo Chrysanthemum
Kagami Crystal was founded in 1934 by Kozo Kagami as Japan's first manufacturer specialising in crystal glass.
Its exquisite crystal glasses, created by experienced artisans, have been widely loved and recognised by countless awards in Japan and internationally for their superb quality. Nonetheless, in 1943, Kagami won its most prominent designation and became an official supplier to the Imperial Household Agency, which serves Japan's Imperial Family. Kagami's beautiful crystal glassware is also officially used in over 250 Japanese embassies and consulates to host formal and state banquets.
And now, delivering the unchanging beauty of Japan, along with the change of time, just like its conviction "to become the ultimate crystal brand loved by all generations across all eras", Kagami Crystal continues to engrave new history at all times as the best crystal maker that is loved beyond time and generation, keeping the high skills and qualities that it developed over many decades.
This pair of rock glasses seamlessly blends two iconic elements from the Edo period, the 'Koten Kiku' (Classical Chrysanthemum) and Edo Kiriko, into its design.
The 'Edo Kiku' is distinguished by its characteristic of standing upright after its petals have fully bloomed flat, symbolizing growth and prosperity. Incorporated into the design is the traditional Edo Kiriko motif of 'Asanoha Mon' (Hemp Leaf Pattern), which carries auspicious meanings of wishing for growth and success.
The fusion of these two traditions results in a pair of glasses imbued with favourable symbolism, making them not only visually captivating but also culturally significant pieces that bring an essence of good fortune to any drinking experience.
