Founded in Tokyo in 1899, Hiroto Glass has established itself as one of the pioneers of Japanese Glassware. In recent years, Hirota Glass has created its own signature style through harmonization of European traditional glassmaking technique and Japanese artistry. While staying true to its classic designs and influence dating back to the pre-war period, Hirota Glass continues to push hand-crafted glass to its artistic limits.
 


Creating Edo kiriko is a painstaking process that requires a great deal of skill and patience. First, the glass is blown into a mold to create its basic shape. Then, the artisan uses a cutting wheel to create the intricate designs. Finally, the glass is polished to give it a smooth, lustrous finish.
