Paying tribute to one of the most celebrated images in art history — Hokusai's great wave with Mount Fuji rising in the distance — the Edo Kiriko Handcrafted Fuji Wave Whisky Glass renders that timeless tension between motion and stillness into hand-cut crystal. Choose between two distinct expressions. each capturing a different mood of the mountain across the rolling water.
A Tribute to Hokusai's Great Wave
In 1831. Katsushika Hokusai released what would become one of the most reproduced images in human history: The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏). an ink-block print of a towering wave curling above small fishing boats. with Mount Fuji standing serene and unmoved in the distance. The image has become a global emblem of beauty. balance. and the meeting of nature's chaos with its quiet permanence. This glass carries that spirit forward — the surging wave hand-cut into crystal. the silhouette of Fuji rising calmly at its center.
Choose Your Vision of Fuji
- Kin Fuji (金富士) — Golden Fuji: The mountain bathed in the warm light of sunrise — golden. glowing. full of vitality. For the drinker who values radiance. abundance. and the quiet glory of beginning anew.
- Ao Fuji (青富士) — Blue Fuji: The mountain at the cool blue hour. deep and contemplative. For the drinker who finds beauty in stillness. depth. and the unhurried passage of time.
The Frosted Landscape
Along the rim of the glass. a soft frosted finish recreates the gentle haze of distant mountains and morning mist — a textural complement to the hand-cut clarity of the body. Where the body refracts light brilliantly. the rim holds it softly: two textures. one continuous landscape rendered in crystal.
Hand-Cut Through Patient Tradition
Each glass is meticulously hand-carved into thick crystal by skilled artisans through tens of thousands of precision strokes. The dense. multi-directional cutting catches light from every angle. creating brilliance no machine-pressed glass can match. Substantial weight in the hand. refined to the eye — built for both contemplation and conversation.
Perfect For
Single Malt Scotch. Bourbon. Japanese whisky. and any aged spirit served neat or on the rocks. A profoundly thoughtful gift for art collectors. admirers of Hokusai and ukiyo-e tradition. lovers of Japanese landscape art. or anyone who finds inspiration in the meeting of motion and stillness. A particularly resonant piece for those who treat their evening pour as a small ritual.
