"Edo Kiriko" is a traditional Japanese craft of cut glass that originated during the Edo period, which lasted from 1603 to 1868. The term itself combines "Edo", the former name of Tokyo, where the craft was developed, and "Kiriko", which means cut glass. This craft is characterized by intricate patterns and vibrant colors that are cut into the surface of the glass, creating a stunning visual effect.

Edo Kiriko glassware is known for its precise and detailed geometric patterns, which are often symmetrical. The art form started by adapting cutting techniques from Europe, but it has evolved to include distinctly Japanese patterns, such as cherry blossoms, bamboo, and waves, which are deeply symbolic in Japanese culture. The glass is usually colored, which contrasts beautifully with the clear cut designs, enhancing the depth and complexity of the artwork.
