Iwasawa Glass Katsushika Hokusai Soy Sauce Pourer "Under the Great Wave Off Kanagawa

This soy sauce pourer features "Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa," one of Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Made using traditional Edo Glass techniques, the stopper and body are individually hand-polished by artisans, making this drip-free soy sauce pourer. This simple, easy-to-use design has been produced since the company's founding. Edo Glass is glassware made by hand, carrying on traditions dating back to the Edo period. The beauty of handmade glassware is that, unlike mass-produced products, each one is unique and original, with a rich character and unique design and depth that can only be achieved through handcrafting. In 2002, it was certified as a Tokyo Traditional Craft. Iwasawa Glass began manufacturing glass in Koto Ward in 1917. It was temporarily suspended during the war due to a merger, but resumed operations in Sumida Ward in 1951. Under the guidance of two Tokyo Metropolitan Traditional Craftsmen, each product is handcrafted in the tradition of "Edo Glass."
