Edo Kiriko: The Making
Design
Artisans begin with simple outlines drawn on the glass surface, mapping the overall balance,
symmetry, and light play of the final piece. Traditional Japanese motifs—hemp leaf, shippo,
chrysanthemums, and more—are arranged to guide where lines will be cut and facets revealed.
In Edo Kiriko, pattern beauty is achieved by precision, restraint, and the harmony of light and shadow.
Rough Cutting
The base patterns are first incised at fixed angles to define depth and rhythm. A rotating wheel
charged with abrasive slurry removes glass in controlled passes to establish the major grooves and
facets. This stage determines clarity, alignment, and the crisp intersections of lines—results that
rely on years of hand–eye training and an artisan’s steady control.
Refinement
Next, each cut is adjusted and smoothed until the surface turns clear and luminous. Natural stone
wheels and fine abrasives reach into details that metal tools cannot. This is a decisive phase:
minute corrections remove burrs and powder residue so that the final geometry shines cleanly and
refracts light as intended.
Polishing
The final stage uses a sequence of wooden, cork, and felt wheels with progressively finer compounds.
Surfaces transition from satin to mirror clarity, enhancing optical depth and sparkle without rounding
the edges. Fabrics and powders are switched as needed to protect each facet, ensuring a radiant finish
that brings the motif to life.
