Yukiakari

On highly transparent crystal glass, delicate and intricate crack patterns extend all the way to the rim.

As tea or sake gently sways inside, tiny shimmering particles of light dance across the table.

The thin rim, shaped with masterful craftsmanship, provides a smooth and pleasant mouthfeel.

The interior is silky smooth, while the exterior retains a subtle texture from the crack patterns, offering a refined tactile experience.

Each piece is handcrafted by artisans using the mold-blowing technique and finished with expert precision.

The unique patterns are created through a specialized process where hot glass is rapidly cooled with water, intentionally forming surface cracks due to the sudden temperature change. The glass is then reheated to stabilize the pattern, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.

Yukiakari refers to the gentle illumination created when moonlight reflects off the snow, casting a soft glow over the surroundings.

Cold tea bowls, sake cups, and glasses—each piece embodies this serene radiance.
