Edo glass "moyai" by Hirota Glass
Edo glass is a traditional handicraft, a local resource of Tokyo. The glasses and plates of the "moyai-もやいmoyai" series, which use the blown glass expression method and spinning molding, are products that evoke a sense of "nostalgia" and "Showa period". This may be because they are reprints of designs by Masahiro Mori, a leading figure in Japanese product design who has played an active role in the postwar Showa period.
Moyai" means a mooring rope "to hold (a ship) together," and this design expresses the its wishes to hold people together through Edo glass. It is not flashy, but it is an excellent product that surely unquestionably connects people with “nostalgic memories”. The moyai series, which adds "emotion" and "meaning of the name" to the "glamour" and "transparency" of glass, is perfect for the occasion of entertaining your guests.

Creator's Commitment
Aspiring to create products with the unique beauty of glass.
Hirota Glass was founded in 1899. It is one of the oldest glassmakers in Tokyo. We have been developing products ahead of other companies since our founding. Although we manufactured and sold sea squirt glass for kerosene lamps in the beginning stages of our business, we have since expanded to a wide range of uses, including containers for candy, Edo Kiriko, and Edo glass tableware. We create products that bring a nostalgic and warm time to modern life utilizing our greatest strength, the information, and technology we have accumulated through manufacturing numerous glass products. We do this by aspiring to continue producing new products, reprinting glass tableware, and passing on the techniques that can be done now to future generations.
