A pair of gifts: Edo Kiriko is a delight for couples

More and more people are choosing Saiho's Edo Kiriko to celebrate wedding anniversaries and new beginnings. Having matching glasses for two can transform an ordinary meal into a special occasion. Edo Kiriko, made from soda glass, captures light elegantly without being flashy, making it a "useful gift" that complements everyday life. Here, we introduce recommended colors, shapes, and patterns for couples, as well as basic gifting techniques.

Choose by color: Pairing colors to brighten up your space

Blue x red is a classic. The clear blue and warm red create a beautiful balance that represents "calmness and passion," making it the most popular pair. Purple x purple has a sense of unity and elegance, making it recommended for couples who have been together for many years. Blue-pink x pink-green features soft tones and is popular with newlyweds and young couples. Black x clear glass is a calm monotone that blends into any space and is perfect for everyday use.

Even if the glass is the same color, the way light passes through it changes depending on the depth and angle of the cut, and it looks different every time you look at it. Even if they are a pair of glasses, there will be subtle differences - these "unique differences" are the charm of Edo Kiriko pairs.

Choose by shape: Imagine the time you two spend together

• Old (rock) glass : For couples who enjoy an evening drink with ice. The weighty glass feels comfortable in the hand and has a special shape.
  
• Open-top tumbler : Saiho's most popular shape. With a wide opening, it can be used for a wide range of drinks, including tea, water, and beer. This versatile tumbler can be used for both everyday and special occasions.
  
  
• Sake cup : For couples who enjoy a little sake. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, and although it is small, the cut design stands out.
  
  
  

Choose by pattern: Wishes contained in Kagome patterns

A particularly recommended gift for couples is the Kagome pattern . This pattern, which represents the weave of a bamboo basket, has long been used to ward off evil and misfortune, and also symbolizes a strong bond. The regular pattern created by the intersecting lines evokes the beauty of a relationship of mutual support. This design is perfect as a gift for a long-married couple or for anniversaries celebrating milestones in their marriage.
