Two of Japan's oldest symbols of prosperity and longevity, cut into a single glass. Some designs are straightforward about what they mean.

Highlights

  • Mt. Fuji and crane: Japan's two most recognized symbols of good fortune, combined in a single Kiriko cut — immediately understood, permanently meaningful as a gift, and unlike anything in a Western glassware shop.
  • Free name engraving (up to 8 characters) — available only through Taburo Kobo's official shop in Tokyo. The engraving is permanent; the glass becomes singular.
  • At 315ml, sized for daily use: sake, shochu, whisky, cold tea, or iced coffee. A glass with a story that earns its place in the cupboard.
  • Not available through major retailers — sourced directly from Taburo Kobo in Tokyo.

Craftsman's Story

Taburo Kobo has been working in Edo glass arts in Tokyo since 1988. The Fuji-and-Crane series sits in a different register from the studio's more technically demanding Kiriko work: these are everyday glasses, made to be used and given rather than saved. The Kiriko cutting is precise — the mountain profile and the crane in flight are rendered with the same control applied to the abstract geometric patterns — but the intention is accessibility. Mt. Fuji has symbolized permanence and aspiration in Japanese culture since long before it became a UNESCO World Heritage site. The crane has meant longevity in East Asian culture for longer than most traditions can trace. Together on a glass, they say something simple and true.

How to Use

Daily-use glass for iced tea, cold brew, sparkling water, sake, or whisky. The clear glass displays the cut motif best when the glass is backlit or held to natural light — pour something pale (a cold-brewed green tea, sparkling water, sake) to see the Fuji silhouette most clearly. For gift-giving: have it engraved with a name or a date— the gift box is included and no additional wrapping is needed. Hand wash; dry immediately.
