As the name implies, the "cutter" should be related to cutting, which is a process of cutting, polishing and molding by metal sand table or grindstone in the cold working process of nitrate, from which the glass carving process comes, and the cutter is divided into Edo cutter and Satsuma cutter.
From Nagasaki to Edo via Osaka, nitrate spread rapidly across Honshu, Japan. At first, it was centered on blowing, and the relatively high-quality nitrate needed for cutting didn't appear until the beginning of the 19th century. Edo dicing was a processing technology gradually formed in Edo (now Tokyo) at the end of Edo.
"Kagaya Kyubee", who sold nitrate products in Ogawa-machi, near the Japanese bridge in the 5th year of natural protection, applied the technology learned from Osaka to the imitation of British-made nitrate cutting, and carved it with emery. The exquisite workmanship was amazing, which became the beginning of Edo dicing. In the late Meiji period, under the guidance of British technology, western-style cutting techniques were introduced, and most of them were mature technologies at this time.
Edo Kiriko originated in edo, Japan in 1834. "dicing" is a process of cutting and grinding delicate patterns on the surface of crystal by hand with emery, and the patterns made are all ingenious. All of them are works of the brand "Hirota Nizi", which was founded in 1899. They are traditional decorative patterns of Edo, and the artists can produce them.
