[Official Taiburo Workshop] Edo Kiriko Yarai Nanko Crest Old Glass (Edo Purple) TB90415M, Wooden Box, Made In Japan

[Body Size] Φ70 x H88mm [Full Capacity] 220ml [Weight] 235g [Material] Soda Glass [Country of Origin] Japan This piece combines two of Edo Kiriko's signature patterns: the "Yarai" (arrow-shaped) and "Nanako" (fish roe) patterns. "Yarai" refers to the shape of bamboo or logs braided in an alternating pattern. Yarai fences were used in the earliest stages of castle construction and stage set design, and so they symbolize "building the foundation" and "solidifying the base." "Nanako" refers to fish scales, which connote "numerous" and, by extension, "fertility" and "abundance." Both are highly auspicious traditional patterns that have been beloved since ancient times. Edo Kiriko began in the Edo period and has been designated a Traditional Craft of Japan as a precious craft that conveys Edo life to the present day. Each piece is individually handmade by skilled artisans. As all our products are hand-blown glass, there may be slight variations in size and color, and small bubbles may remain, but this does not affect the quality. Thank you for your understanding. Glass is sensitive to temperature changes, so please take care not to cool or heat it suddenly. Do not use in microwaves, ovens, dishwashers, or dish dryers. When washing, use dish detergent and scrub gently with a soft sponge or cloth. Rubbing too hard with a metal scrubbing brush may scratch the product and make it more susceptible to breakage.
