"Actually, it started when I happened to see it in town."

The path to becoming a craftsman began with an unexpected encounter. However, that chance meeting profoundly changed Mr. Sannomaru's life. Drawn by the dazzling beauty of Edo Kiriko, he plunged into the world of craftsmanship to shape that charm with his own hands.

"The sparkling beauty is its greatest appeal. And there's also the clean, stylish look created by the sharp cuts."

Edo Kiriko, when it catches the light, its cuts sparkle delicately, revealing different expressions depending on the angle. Its refined design will brighten the mood of its user and create special moments.

The pattern Mr. Sannomaru particularly favors is "Kikutsunagi." "I like how vibrant, clear, and beautiful it is."

Kikutsunagi is a pattern designed to resemble a series of chrysanthemum flowers, delicate yet conveying strength. It is a design that fully showcases traditional Edo Kiriko techniques and not only has visual beauty but also symbolizes traditional Japanese culture.

Mr. Sannomaru highly recommends the M-195-B/R. "I designed it myself and I'm very fond of it. I think I managed to fit it well into the cylindrical shape."

The M-195-B/R features a cylindrical form with delicate cuts. The stable shape and beautifully calculated cuts are brilliantly fused, maximizing the brilliance of Edo Kiriko.

Regarding recent Edo Kiriko, Mr. Sannomaru says, "The color variations have increased, making it even more beautiful."

In addition to traditional transparent and blue-based designs, new colored glass such as red, pink, green, and purple have become more common in recent years, allowing for a wider range of expression. The expanding color variations lead to designs that match modern lifestyles.
