Japanese style cut glass "Baroque"

An Elegant Presence Inspired by the Beauty of Baroque Art

Evoking the refined elegance of Baroque art, the Baroque series draws inspiration from the ornate and dignified decoration of Baroque architecture. Graceful curves, balanced symmetry, and intricate patterns are meticulously engraved into glass, one cut at a time, creating a richly detailed and expressive design.

The Black and Navy colorways highlight dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, recalling the chiaroscuro of Baroque painting and lending the glass a dignified, commanding presence. In contrast, Mint blends clear mint blue with soft lavender tones, offering a gentle, refreshing calm—like a pure breeze passing through the air.

Traditional Japanese motifs such as Kiku-tsunagi (linked chrysanthemums) and Nanako (fish roe pattern) are delicately incorporated, quietly carrying auspicious meanings of prosperity and meaningful connections.

Whether in the deep stillness of night or the clear light of morning, this glass harmonizes effortlessly with its surroundings, transforming everyday moments into elegant, artful experiences.

Modern, Color-Rich Kiriko by a Former Designer

The works of Noriko Chikaraishi resonate with a light harmony of tradition and innovation. Fine cuts, flowing curves, and layered techniques come together to create depth and nuance beyond conventional Kiriko glass. Her pieces transcend traditional boundaries, subtly echoing Western architectural beauty while expanding the future possibilities of Japanese cut glass.

The layered colors and gentle gradations are unmistakably Chikaraishi’s signature. Though rooted in traditional craftsmanship, her work feels soft and free—an expression made possible by the refined color sensibility and aesthetic cultivated during her previous career as a designer.

Her encounter with Kiriko began with a moment of awe: “I couldn’t believe something this beautiful could be made by human hands.” That sense of wonder and respect continues to guide her hands today.

"Kiriko is the culmination of techniques passed down through generations. Encountering such work in the midst of a busy life brings a quiet richness—an opportunity to feel culture, craftsmanship, and calm."

Each glass, born from the tension of carving precise lines and the joy of discovering subtle variations, embodies a serene and gentle beauty meant to be savored over time.
