The spirit of Satsuma

The hand-blown, double-layered colored glass has been crafted with faceted patterns of exquisite depth and shape. The softly blurred expression created by the faceted glass gives a profound flavor and an impression of ephemerality, signatures of Satsuma Kiriko that reflect the transient historical flowering of this technique. Enjoy the elegant brilliance and rich expression given life by the artisan’s technique.
