This necklace is crafted from faceted glass, a traditional Tokyo craft akin to jewelry making.
The craftsmen meticulously finish each facet that contributes to its beautiful shine using the traditional technique of 'hand polishing.' This process maximizes the original glass high transparency and saturation.
The creation of the faceted design involves several steps, starting with 'wari-dashi,' where lines are horizontally and vertically inserted, followed by grinding with a whetstone, and finally, polishing with an abrasive. These precise cuts and polishing create a small world of approximately 2cm in length, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and adding to the charm of this product.
The decoration incorporates a design inspired by the imagery of a "toshi-nawa'" (closing rope), wrapping the faceted piece with a covering ring.
