While most finishing processes prioritize speed and efficiency, Yukio Nemoto believed in a different approach: devoting time and care to every piece, resulting in glass of remarkable clarity and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis philosophy, “Never cutting corners means never betraying the trust of our customers,” consistently took precedence over profit. This uncompromising spirit has been passed down through three generations—from Yukio, to his son Tatsuya Nemoto (根本達也), and now to his grandson Kosho Nemoto (根本幸昇)—each upholding and evolving the tradition with the same integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Nemoto Glass continues to honor that legacy. With a quiet devotion to quality, the workshop preserves the timeless beauty of Edo Kiriko while shaping its future, one piece at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"261\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eEdo Kiriko (江戸切子)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdo Kiriko, Japan’s exquisite cut glass craft, dates back to 1834 (Tenpō 5), when Kaga-ya Kyūbei, a glass merchant in Edo’s Ōdenmachō district, first engraved patterns onto glass using emery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Meiji era, as Western knowledge spread, Edo glassmaking merged with European cut glass techniques, shaping the Edo Kiriko we cherish today.
