From the famed Yachiyo Kiln in Shimousa Province comes this exquisite series of Edo Glass sake cups—artisans skillfully wrap slender rods of colored glass and delicate gold leaf into clear glass, then breathe life into each piece using traditional glassblowing techniques. The result is a dazzling and one-of-a-kind creation that captures the fleeting beauty of Japan’s seasons.
Each design expresses a seasonal moment, evoking the rich atmospheres of nature through color and form:
🌸 Spring – Blossoms in the Breeze
春の花見ごろ 咲き誇る花と舞う花びら
Cherry blossoms in full bloom, dancing softly on a gentle spring breeze.
🌙 Summer – Fireflies at Dusk
夏の川涼み 夕闇に舞う蛍たち
A quiet riverside evening, flickering with the glow of fireflies in the twilight.
🍂 Autumn – Moon and Stars
秋の夜の月 満天の星に照る名月
A brilliant harvest moon glowing beneath a sky full of stars.
❄️ Winter – Snowlight and Flurries
冬の空 雪明かりに舞う細雪
A silver sky and soft flurries, lit by the quiet shimmer of falling snow.
These sake cups are made using the traditional Edo Glass technique, designated a National Traditional Craft by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
🎁 Presented in an elegant gift box, this collection makes a meaningful gift or a treasured addition to any sakeware collection.
