Edo-Kiriko glass, ideal as a Tokyo souvenir

  • Other Destinations

Edo-Kiriko is a generic term for faceted glass products which have been produced in old Tokyo (Edo) from the end of the Edo period to present day. Many Edo-Kiriko artisans have been gathering in the Bokuto district of Tokyo since long ago. When you hear the distinctive sounds of the cutting of the glass surface, you can feel the atmosphere of the old downtown Edo. Edo-Kiriko's unique designs in red and blue are very impressive. The Sumida Edo Kiriko-Kan sells a variety of Edo-Kiriko products. This shop also lets you experience making your own Edo-Kiriko items while learning about Edo-Kiriko (reservation required). Please visit this shop during your visit to the Sumida area.
