Satsuma Vidro Kogei, based in Satsuma-cho, Kagoshima, is one of the workshops that keep it alive. Its Koshiki (old-style) series reproduces the soft, slightly warm tone of antique transparent glass: plainer than the famous red and indigo casings, but quietly refined, and one of the maker's most popular colours. The cup is presented in a paulownia box.
