A Night Forest of Cherry Blossoms: The "Yozakura" Vision
Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of a moonlit spring night. Masterfully crafted by the rising star of Edo Kiriko, Kaito Nabetani, this "Yozakura" tumbler captures the fleeting magic of cherry blossoms glowing against a deep, dark sky. The phantom-like purple and pink hues create a dreamlike atmosphere that transforms your tasting ritual into a sensory journey.
The Alchemy of Color: Indigo & Gold-Red Crystal
This masterpiece utilizes a sophisticated "Double-Cased" crystal technique. By layering deep indigo over gold-red glass, Nabetani achieves a rich, midnight purple exterior. As he carves the delicate five-petaled cherry blossoms, the hidden pink layer emerges, perfectly mimicking petals illuminated by moonlight. The un-cut purple sections act as mirrors, reflecting the intricate "Kiku-tsunagi" (Chrysanthemum mesh) patterns from within the glass.
Award-Winning Craftsmanship
