Edo Kiriko is a designated national traditional craft in Japan. Artisans meticulously cut and process molten crystal glass at 1350 degrees Celsius with expert skill. The resulting double structure, composed of both clear and colored glass, creates a magical play of light and shadow along the cut lines.
A: "Rin" evokes the Japanese concept of "凛" (rin), which describes a dignified, awe-inspiring, and refined beauty. "Essense" refers to the core spirit. Our goal is to bring the true essence of Japanese aesthetics and craftsmanship to you.
Q: How can I be notified about new product releases?
A: Yes! We periodically release unique pieces from Japanese artisans. We highly recommend subscribing to our mailing list or following us on Instagram （@rin_essense_art） to be the first to know about new arrivals and exclusive offers.
Products & Craftsmanship
Q: Are your products genuinely made in Japan?
A: We are dedicated to providing an authentic Japanese experience. Our products fall into the following categories:
Imported from Japan: Certain items (like Satsuma Kiriko glasses(薩摩切子) and specific Nishijin-ori textiles) are crafted by Japanese artisans and imported directly from Japan. These will be clearly labeled as "Imported from Japan" in the product description.
Japanese Craftsmanship, Made Overseas: Some products (like certain folding fans and Shibori(絞り - tie-dye) items) are meticulously created using traditional Japanese techniques, sometimes in workshops outside of Japan, to ensure authenticity and a more accessible price point.
Japanese Design Inspiration: A select range of products (like some Bori fabric bags) are original designs that blend Japanese aesthetics with modern functionality. Regardless of origin, we guarantee the highest quality and a deep respect for Japanese artistry.
Q: Why are your Satsuma Kiriko glasses so expensive?
A: Satsuma Kiriko is one of Japan's most renowned glass arts. Its value comes from:
Entirely Handmade: Each piece is individually cut and polished by a master artisan, a time-intensive process.
Complex Technique: It involves intricate cutting on layers of different glass, resulting in a low yield of perfect pieces.
Heritage & Scarcity: Each piece is a unique work of art, carrying a legacy of centuries. You are not just purchasing a glass, but a collectible heirloom.
Q: Are these handmade items fragile?
A: Our products are crafted to be both beautiful and functional. However, items like Kiriko glasses and byobu screens require careful handling. We recommend:
Kiriko Glasses: Handwash only and avoid sharp impacts.
Byobu Screens/Fans: Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight and damp environments. Specific care instructions are included with each relevant product.
