Craft Style

Kawasho (Sendai) has opened a new Japan Craft EC site that matches Japanese traditional crafts and culture with creators and craftsmen with new sensibilities. Are all the exhibited items traditional crafts? It is a novel and modern item that can be mistaken for. We are aiming for the distribution and industrialization of newly reborn traditional crafts.

From the cutting technology of Edo Kiriko, we will collect the best of cutting technology and cutting technology from all over Japan to create new Japanese crafts. Jewel Kiriko is such a project sponsored by Kawasho. (Trademark acquired in Japan)

This is a completely new Kiriko that is a collaboration of the cutting technique of Edo Kiriko and the technique of Mr. Kazuo Hanaoka, who trained in Gravile cutting in Italy. The material is crystal glass for jewelry, and it is a product that incorporates a sense of jewels that projects a unique prism when exposed to light. The sign name will also be the double name of the Edo Kiriko craftsman and Mr. Hanaoka.
