The Yoasobi Kiriko vase by Rinzen is a hand-cut and hand-polished glass vessel made in Tokyo, Japan. Crafted from natural soda glass, this round vase features a smooth violet-to-blue gradient and intricate patterns that wrap around its curved body. The surface is divided into alternating bands of geometric latticework and textured honeycomb cuts, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow. The spherical form narrows at the mouth, making it ideal for displaying small floral arrangements while standing as a sculptural object on its own.

Kiriko, a Japanese glass-cutting tradition with roots in Edo-period craftsmanship, is known for its detailed surface patterns and the way it refracts light. Rinzen’s approach takes this tradition further by avoiding chemical polishing, relying entirely on hand tools to refine each facet. This slow and precise method produces a deeper, more natural brilliance when the glass catches sunlight or ambient light. The purple and blue tones shift in appearance depending on the angle, adding depth to the design.

Symbolically, the circular form can represent unity and wholeness, while the spiral-like arrangement of the cuts suggests movement and continuity. These design choices echo Japanese aesthetics that value both permanence and impermanence, qualities tied to nature’s cycles.

This vase is small and lightweight, suited for intimate arrangements such as a few stems of seasonal flowers, herbs, or ornamental grasses. It also serves as a collector’s piece, representing the skill of emerging Japanese artisans who balance tradition with contemporary design.
