Yachiyo faceting was born in Yachiyo (Yachiyo City, Chiba Prefecture), in the Land of Shimousa. The encounter between the skilled techniques handed down in this region and new sensibilities has created a new value never seen before.
The skillful faceted patterns that express traditional patterns with a modern sensibility bring out the beauty of glass. The ink colored faceted pattern is deemed as the most rare and hard to made because the ink color is opaque and hard for the craftsman to see through when carving and cutting the patterns on the glass.
In Suiboku-ga (ink painting), all the colors in the world are expressed with a single color of sumi ink, which is called "sumi ni gozai ari" (there are five shades of sumi ink). Yachiyo Kiriko* Sumi-iro is a gem that allows you to enjoy a wide variety of brilliance by adding atmospheric faceting and gold leaf to the deep sumi ink color.
A Yachiyo Kiriko concept bookmark in Japanese and English/Chinese text and an exclusive bookmark explaining the origin of the pattern will be included.
It comes in a special wooden box, making it ideal as a gift for a loved one or for entertaining on a special occasion.
