5 recommended pair glasses for gifts
Here, we introduce 5 particularly recommended items among the many pair glasses from 'Glass Studio Saihou.'
・M-131-2 Kemyarai Jyumon Old Pair
This is a pair of old glasses in two colors: Ruri (lapis lazuli) and Aka (red). These two colors are representative of Edo Kiriko. The bamboo leaf pattern on the glass embodies a wish for health and longevity due to the strong vitality of bamboo. The Yaray pattern, which resembles a bamboo fence made by crossing bamboos, is said to have the meaning of warding off evil.
The wide mouth and almost cylindrical shape of the glass make it easy to put in large ice cubes, making it ideal for drinking whiskey or shochu on the rocks. It is also suitable as a wedding anniversary gift for parents or a gift for someone overseas.
・M-285-2 Ichimatsu Pattern Old Pair
This is a pair of glasses in two colors: lapis lazuli and golden red. Among traditional patterns, the Ichimatsu pattern is often seen in daily life. 'Glass Studio Saihou' boldly arranged it with a modern sensibility to cover the entire glass. The beautiful contrast between the colored and transparent parts creates a simple yet elegant design that brightens up any dining table.
These glasses are perfect for drinking not only alcohol but also tea and juice. Their casual design makes them easy for everyday use, making them an excellent choice for wedding gifts or important anniversary presents for couples.
・M-088-2 Yotsuhana Hishimon Guinom Pair
This is a pair of sake cups (guinomi) in two colors: lapis lazuli and red. Their rounded, stable shape is a classic of Edo Kiriko and one of Glass Studio Saihou's best-selling products.
They are adorned with the "Yotsuhana Hishimon" pattern, which combines four traditional "Hana Hishimon" patterns that were used as family crests by nobles during the Heian period. These small sake cups have a very elegant atmosphere.
These pair glasses, which can bring a sense of richness just by being in your home's cupboard, are perfect as a gift for sake lovers.
・M-8573-2BP Shippo Sasaha Pattern Mini Old Pair, Direct Sale Limited Edition
This is a pair of glasses available in three colors: blue-pink, pink-green, and purple. Blue-pink and pink-green have different colors for the body and base, while the purple base is the natural transparent color of the glass itself.
The glass body features a cut combining the auspicious Shippo pattern and the Sasaha (bamboo leaf) pattern, which symbolizes wishes for health and longevity. Its enchanting beauty makes you want to gaze at it forever. It pairs well with any drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and is 'Glass Studio Saihou's' most popular product.

・M-8285BK Ichimatsu Pattern Old Black
https://saihou.net/products/m-8285bk
This old glass features a bold Ichimatsu (checkerboard) pattern in "black," which has been featured on television several times. In Edo Kiriko, the darker the color, the harder it is to see the guiding lines for cutting, requiring highly skilled techniques. Glass Studio Saihou's black is particularly rich, an ink-black color. Furthermore, the simple Ichimatsu pattern also tests the artisan's skill.
This modern old glass, crafted with reliable techniques, is a satisfying gift for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship.
*These are usually offered as a single item. If you wish to order a pair, please inquire.
