[Specifications] ▼ Body size: Approx. 7.5cm diameter x 10cm height ▼ Capacity: Approx. 300ml ▼ Material: Glass ▼ Country of origin: Japan [Hizen Bidoro] Hizen Bidoro is a traditional craft of handmade, free-blown glass tableware designated as an important intangible cultural property of Saga City. Inheriting techniques that have continued since the late Edo period, it has been produced in Saga City for over 110 years since 1903 (Meiji 36). Today, Hizen Bidoro produces glass tableware with techniques and originality that can only be found in Japan. They produce free-blown glass, which is a particularly technically difficult type of glassblowing that does not use any molds. [Rainbow Series] The "Rainbow Series," which has been on sale for about three years, has now become a popular series. Its vibrant and cute appearance, which expresses a rainbow using five different colored particles, is highly praised by women and has become a new staple of Hizen Bidoro. Glasses with silver leaf are also often used for various celebrations, and the new pink version has also been well-received. [Soejima Glass Industry] It is said that the origins of Soejima Glass Industry date back to 1852, when Naomasa Nabeshima, the 10th lord of the Saga (Nabeshima) domain, established a refining facility (what would be called a physics and chemistry research institute today) on the banks of the Tabuse River. The refining facility was originally a place that produced daily necessities (such as goldfish bowls, medicine bottles, and sake bottles) as well as tools necessary for the academic research institute. A glass kiln, which was rare at the time, was built there, and beakers and flasks for scientific experiments were mainly produced. Later, with the opening of Japan to the world and the Meiji Restoration, the refining facility began producing lamps and tableware, and became a private company called Seirensho. In 1903, Genichiro Soejima became independent from this company and founded Soejima Glass Industry. Today, it is the only workshop that produces Hizen Bidoro glass. [Perfect for Gifts] Recommended as a gift or present! Ideal for Mother's Day, Father's Day, and many other occasions. Also a popular souvenir for those traveling abroad.
