Edo Kiriko Asakusa Ojima
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese glass craft that evolved toward the end of the Edo period. It is characterized by beautiful cut patterns, soft curves that evoke the Edo sentimentality, and myriad designs. At this long-established traditional workshop in Asakusa that has been in business for three generations, you can learn the techniques of Edo Kiriko from craftsmen who have inherited the traditions since the Edo period, and experience the process of "arazuri" which involves engraving patterns into transparent glass. You can create your own original glass work using traditional Edo Kiriko techniques. Information in English is also available to help visitors gain a deeper understanding of traditional Japanese crafts. The production experience takes place while you learn how to cut and choose designs under the guidance of a craftsman. You can take the completed work with you right after the experience, making it the perfect memorabilia of your trip to Japan.
