Polishing by Hand
Edokiriko Shop Hanashyo was founded in 1964. The glassware is currently created by Ryuichi Kumakura, the second generation, and his son of the third generation, Takayuki Kumakura. The most prominent feature of Edokiriko Shop Hanashyo is that they are particular about hand polishing. This is the final process to finish off the perfect cutting work. Even the machines and equipment used for the polishing process are all hand made by the Kumakuras.
The works of art are not just beautiful glass, but are gentle to the touch, created with great care, not possible with mass-produced glassware.
