Edo Kiriko is one of the most iconic traditional crafts of Tokyo.
Classic Edo Kiriko features blue and red glass cut with geometric patterns, but today’s glass-cutting artisans are pushing the artform to the next level, with intricate designs combining various cutting techniques carved into multi-colored glass in all shapes and sizes.
At BECOS, we offer a curated collection of outstanding Edo Kiriko by world-famous makers and boundary-pushing newcomers alike. Find your own Edo Kiriko treasure and see the incredible craftsmanship up close.
BECOS services and precautions for handling Edo faceted sake cups
BECOS offers a wide variety of beautiful Japanese wrapping options to elegantly express your gratitude, congratulations, or other sentiment to the recipient. In addition to washi paper wrapping, we also offer furoshiki wrapping which is a uniquely Japanese wrapping method that utilizes a traditional wrapping cloth. While paper wrapping is often thrown away, furoshiki are useful items that can be reused as an eco-bag, scarf, or to wrap important belongings, making it a very popular wrapping method. In addition to wrapping, we also offer the option to send a typed or handwritten note with your gift to add an even more personal touch. If you are sending a gift to someone who lives far away, please don’t hesitate to use our message service
At BECOS, our concierges are well versed in etiquette and gift selection. There are many factors to consider when choosing a gift, including not only what to give, but also the budget, when to give it, and etiquette (especially if giving a gift to a Japanese acquaintance). Even if you just need a quick suggestion for the best item to give someone, our concierge service is ready to help.
Edo Kiriko is traditionally made from crystal glass, which is a softer, heavier type of glass that is more suitable for cutting and produces an exceptional shine. Crystal glass is particularly preferred for expensive alcohol such as fine whiskey, wine, or sake, but can add a touch of class to any type of drink. Care: Wash gently with soap and water. Do not use abrasive scrubbers as this can damage the glass. Should grime get into the facets of the glass, use a toothbrush or other gentle brush to clean it out.
