VILLAGE Report vol.13 Tokyo | Edo Kiriko, Glass Engraving with Roots in 1834

Edo Kiriko is said to have begun in 1834, when a glassware shop in Edo engraved designs onto glass. It was designated a traditional craft by Tokyo in 1985 and by Japan in 2002. We trace its story through patterns such as nanako and kiku-tsunagi.
