Kimura Yasunori is a dentō kōgeishi of the craft working at Taburo Kobo in Edogawa, Tokyo. This cup is cased in ruri (lapis) blue and cut with kiku-kagome: chrysanthemum flowers, long a symbol of good fortune, set into a hexagonal basket-weave lattice of very fine lines. The maker describes the pattern as proof of high technical skill; in the hand the cuts throw light through the blue like a jewel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCraftsman: Kimura Yasunori (木村泰典), Taburo Kobo, Tokyo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePattern: kiku-kagome (菊籠目紋), ruri blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: crystal glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 6.5 cm diameter × 5 cm high; approx. 80 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox: paulownia box (桐箱入り)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatch: how Edo kiriko glass is cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA TEWAZA craft film showing Edo kiriko cut-glass techniques, from Japan Traditional Crafts Aoyama Square.
