Cutting pattern "yarai-sasanoha" 矢来 笹の葉
The pattern of "yarai" is a checkered pattern that combines thick and thin lines. Outlining the shape of a crossed bamboo palisade, this pattern represents a safety fence and it's said to have protective powers against evil spirits. As the name suggests, the "sasa-no-ha" pattern is characterized by its luxurious cuts imitating bamboo leaves. As bamboo tress continue to grow thick foliage even during midwinter, they are known for their vitality and considered to be lucky charms in Japan. And it is one of Edo-Kiriko's representative patterns, appearing in numerous works.
By combining traditional patterns, a new pattern is created. The design is well integrated with the form of the glass itself, creating a sense of unity.
Studio Taburo's beautiful "Edo-Kiriko" are carefully hand-created by experienced craftsmen in Tokyo.
