The snow-capped peak is realistically expressed by sandblasted glass engraving. When the cup is held face down, it just looks like Fuji mountain with beautiful snow-capped peak. The Mt. Fuji has been considered a sacred mountain since ancient times and has been the object of people's faith. Its graceful appearance is widely known overseas as a symbol of Japan. Fuji is also the tallest mountain in Japan, and its beautiful appearance is considered to bring good luck.
It is a ideal gift for your loved one or for those who love to drink, it comes in a wooden box with a lid. The cup is made from the same material for Edo glass, which is made by layering thinly blown colored glass over clear glass, and is blown one by one from hand to hand by skilled craftsmen.
