A Legacy of Glassware Excellence
Founded over 80 years ago, Kimoto Glassware has established itself as one of Japan's leading glassware producers, evolving from a wholesale distributor to a global producer known for its remarkable designs. The company's commitment to preserving Tokyo's historical reputation as the country's glass hub underscores its dedication to its craft and origins.
Collaboration and Innovation in Design
Instead of housing artisans in-house, Kimoto Glassware takes on the role of a producer, partnering with various designers and local artists. Together, they create a fusion of traditional and modern aesthetics in each piece of glassware. The company has been instrumental in reinvigorating the traditional Edo Kiriko technique by incorporating it into contemporary designs such as the KUROCO series and their range of sake glasses.
Unwavering Commitment to Quality
Kimoto Glassware's products reflect an unwavering commitment to quality, with each piece being handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. The use of premium materials and a labor-intensive crafting process justifies the premium pricing of their products. It's not just a piece of glassware you are buying, but a piece of art born from the convergence of traditional techniques and modern design.
