Thoughts Gifted in Pairs: Edo Kiriko Loved by Married Couples and Partners
More and more people are choosing Saiho's Edo Kiriko for wedding anniversaries and celebrations of new beginnings. Holding matching glasses together transforms everyday dining into a slightly more special occasion. Edo Kiriko, made from soda glass that elegantly catches the light without being overly ornate, is a "useful gift" that accompanies daily life. Here, we introduce recommended colors, shapes, and patterns for couples, along with basic gifting tips.
Choosing by Color: Pair Colors to Brighten Your Shared Space
Blue (Ruri) × Red (Aka) is a classic. The clear blue and warm red create a beautiful balance, like "calm and passion," making it the most popular pairing. Purple × Purple offers a sense of unity and elegance, recommended for couples who have been together for many years. Blue-Pink × Pink-Green features soft hues, popular with newlyweds and young couples. Black × Clear (Hari) provides a sophisticated monochrome look that blends into any space and is perfect for everyday use.
Even with the same color, the way light passes through changes with the depth and angle of the cut, revealing different expressions each time you look at it. Even if they are a pair of glasses, there are subtle differences—these "differences unique to the two of them" are the charm of Edo Kiriko pairs.
Choosing by Shape: Imagine Your Time Together
-
Old-fashioned (Rock) Glasses: For couples who enjoy an evening drink with ice. The pleasant weight in the hand gives a special feel to this shape.
-
Tenkai Tumblers: Saiho's most popular shape. With a wide opening, they can be used for tea, water, beer, and more. A versatile type suitable for both everyday and special occasions.

-
Guinomi (Sake Cups): For couples who enjoy a little sake. They fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, and despite their small size, the cuts have a striking presence.

Choosing by Pattern: The Wish Embodied in the Kagome Pattern
For gifts for married couples, we particularly recommend the Kagome pattern. This pattern, representing the weave of a bamboo basket, has long signified "warding off evil" and "protection from misfortune," while also symbolizing "strong bonds." The regular pattern created by intersecting lines reflects the beauty of a mutually supportive relationship. It is a suitable design for gifts to long-married couples or for celebrating wedding anniversaries.
