Edo Kiriko Tsukikage Hand-Cut Whisky Glass

A quiet tribute to the moon's enduring glow. the Edo Kiriko Handcrafted Tsukikage Whisky Glass captures the serenity of night in crystalline form. The base features a delicately etched moon. its light scattered through hand-cut vertical facets that shimmer like rippling water under starlight. To pour into this glass is to pour beneath the quiet attention of the moon itself.

Tsukikage (月影) — Moonlight Through Crystal

The name tsukikage (月影) holds a meaning that loses some of its grace in translation. Tsuki (月) is the moon; kage (影) is its light cast. shadow. or reflection — all at once. Together they describe the gentle. silver glow that moonlight makes on water. on leaves. on a quiet room. The word has been a favorite of Japanese poets for over a thousand years. woven through countless haiku and waka about transient beauty. longing. and the enduring presence of the moon across seasons. To bring tsukikage into a glass is to invite that quiet light into the everyday ritual of a poured drink.

The Moon at the Base

Etched into the foot of the glass is the moon itself — a delicate circular motif rendered through traditional hand-engraving. Set the glass on a dark wood bar and the moon glows softly upward through the crystal; hold it to a candle and the etched orb seems to drift across the room. The cuts surrounding the base catch and scatter light vertically. like the ripple of water disturbed by a stone. or the gentle shimmer of a moonlit pond.

Hand-Cut. Like Light Through Water

Each vertical facet is shaped by hand against a spinning wheel through tens of thousands of precision strokes. The substantial 540 g weight rests with quiet authority in the hand — solid. settled. present. It is a glass for the unhurried drink. the slow conversation. the late evening after the day has finally quieted.

Perfect For

Single Malt Scotch. Bourbon. Japanese whisky. and aged spirits served neat or on the rocks. A particularly thoughtful gift for moon-lovers. poets. contemplatives. those navigating quiet transitions. and anyone who treats the evening pour as a small ceremony. Equally beautiful as a self-purchase — an object that earns its place at the end of every day.
