"Yarai" is the name for the shape of bamboo or logs braided in an alternating pattern. Yarai fences were used in the earliest stages of castle construction and stage set design, and therefore symbolize "building the foundation" or "solidifying the base." This is an auspicious pattern that has been beloved since ancient times. Edo Murasaki expresses the sophistication unique to Edo. In addition to the nobility and auspiciousness associated with purple, it has also come to be beloved as a color that represents sophistication due to its use in Kabuki, a form of theater popular among the common people of Edo. Edo Kiriko is a traditional craft that began in the late Edo period and has been passed down through the hands of artisans. Each piece is meticulously handmade by skilled Kiriko artisans. This cold sake cup is the perfect size for drinking sake. It makes a wonderful gift for a loved one or a souvenir to take overseas.
