Rinzen Whisky Glass - Hou Ei 泡影

Hou Ei 泡影 (Bubble Shadow)

This Green & Neodymium Glass beautifully expresses the ephemeral nature of life, capturing the fleeting beauty of bubbles through the traditional Kikkomon 亀甲紋 (tortoiseshell pattern) and Kiku-tsunagi 菊つなぎ (chrysanthemum interlace) motifs. The delicate chrysanthemum interlace, seen through the hexagonal tortoiseshell pattern, appears even more intricate, adding depth and elegance to the design.

Inspired by the idea that impermanence enhances beauty, this piece serves as a reminder to cherish the fleeting moments of everyday life. Thoughtfully crafted with this sentiment, it is more than just glassware—it is a work of art that brings mindfulness and sophistication to your daily rituals.
