Toyo-Sasaki Yachiyogama Handcrafted Kinpaku Kuro Kiriko Sake Set Collection

Blending the precision of Edo Kiriko techniques with the refined elegance of Yachiyo Kiriko craftsmanship, this high-end sake set from Toyo-Sasaki’s Yachiyogama series is a true celebration of traditional glass artistry. At the heart of the collection is the striking sake flagon, cut from deep black crystal and adorned with genuine gold leaf, hand-applied to shimmer subtly across the surface. The glass is carved with the 飛亀甲柄 とばしきっこうがら (Tobashikko-gara) motif, a dynamic interpretation of the tortoiseshell pattern, long associated with longevity and harmony.

Matching the flagon are two distinct sake cups, each showcasing a different classical motif. The first cup features 竹垣柄 たけがきがら (Takegaki-gara), a bamboo fence pattern, symbolizing resilience and tranquility. Its layered cutwork and translucent depth evoke the quiet strength of woven bamboo beneath golden flecks. The second cup is graced with 開扇柄 ひらきおうぎがら (Hirakioogi-gara), the shape of an open folding fan, a design representing elegance, good fortune, and celebratory occasions. Both cups are meticulously hand-polished and accented with 24-karat gold leaf, scattered like stardust across the interior rim for a finish that is both understated and dazzling.

These pieces are objects of art, ideal for celebratory toasts, treasured gifting, or permanent display. Each piece comes presented in a handcrafted wooden box bearing the Toyo-Sasaki emblem, reinforcing its identity as a premium collector’s item crafted for connoisseurs of beauty and tradition.
