Available in two amber-toned variants: \u003cem\u003eBlue Amber\u003c\/em\u003e. evoking the cool clarity of dusk. and \u003cem\u003eRed Amber\u003c\/em\u003e. holding the warmth of sunset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKiku (菊) — The Imperial Chrysanthemum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Japanese tradition. the chrysanthemum — \u003cem\u003ekiku\u003c\/em\u003e (菊) — holds a status no other flower matches. Its sixteen-petaled form is the imperial seal of Japan. appearing on the Imperial Throne. on the cover of Japanese passports. and at the heart of the country's highest honor (the National Order of the Chrysanthemum). Beyond imperial usage. the flower signifies longevity. nobility. and the rejuvenation that follows the year's harvest. To carry the chrysanthemum is to carry the wish for a long. distinguished life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChōyō no Sekku (重陽の節句) — The Chrysanthemum Festival\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach year on September 9th — the ninth day of the ninth month. considered doubly auspicious in East Asian numerology — Japan celebrates the \u003cem\u003eChōyō no Sekku\u003c\/em\u003e (重陽の節句). the Chrysanthemum Festival.

A thin layer of tinted crystal is fused over a clear crystal core; the artisan then hand-cuts through the colored layer with carefully judged pressure. revealing flashes of clarity beneath. The interplay of color and light gives the chrysanthemum its signature radiance — petals that seem to catch light from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Cut Through Patient Tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery facet of the chrysanthemum motif is shaped by hand against a spinning wheel through tens of thousands of careful strokes.

The lead-free crystal carries its 300 g weight with grounded refinement — solid in the hand. balanced for unhurried use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle Malt Scotch.
