Booming "Mt.Fuji Glass"
Craftsmanship in Tokyo downtown
富士山玻璃杯的工场见学

Our staffs from GINZA and YURAKUCHO stores, we visited at Tajima Glass Factory making Mt.Fuji Glass, which has been booming since 2015.
The factory is located in Tokyo downtown, Edogawa region, a corner of the area alongside small factories.
黄金周后,Le-noble东京的同事有幸拜访了位于东京都江户川区的人气商品“富士山玻璃杯”制作公司——田岛玻璃公司的工场。
It was a hot morning day like summer, and the temperature of the kiln in the factory is now over 1300 degrees. The craftsmen working there must be so hot. What's more, is that it gets hotter toward daytime. Now, it's still May. What will happen when the actual summer comes??? We're just impressed how well they control their health.
五月艳阳天,气温一点也不输给夏天。玻璃职人们更要在1300度的高温中操作,其艰难程度可想而知。
The temperature of the room is really hot, but the motions of craftsman are calm and quick without any idle motion. In a moment, a ball of glass heated in bright red, turned into a form of familiar-looking glass.
A series of their motions seem very easy, but it surely is not. We're so amazed by their advanced-skills, producing exactly the same pieces in a short time.
火热热的窖的周围,各各商品担当的职人们不约而同的进行着操作。娴熟的手法,敏捷的动作,没有一点多余,没有一句抱怨。不多久,炽热的玻璃块就在职人们的手中吹成了我们熟悉的形状。看起来简单的动作,能够在短时间内寸法无误的成型,这个技术的精准度之高也是可以献上我们的膝盖的。
Here is Mt.Fuji Glass making by hand of the craftsmen. The glass having heat inside looks like a living creature.
经职人们亲手铸造的富士山玻璃杯的雏形,还散发着余热,就像小鸟的孵化一样让人不禁感动。
Now, the cooled glass slowly comes out from the cooler machine. They add the final touch and pack them into the wooden boxes. Then, the glass finally hits our store shelves!
冷却机里出来的富士山杯,在经过最后的一道工序就可以看到成品啦~
The red glass of a front row in the photo down below, is an overlay glass for making Edo-Kiriko, traditional cut glass. At Tajima Glass, they produce various glassware besides Mt.Fuji Glass. It's said no other factories can make various glassware in one factory like them.
下面照片里红色的玻璃杯是切子玻璃的材料之一。田岛玻璃公司除了富士山玻璃之外还生产其它各种玻璃。如今像田岛公司这样独自开发制作玻璃的公司已经变的很少。
Looking how the glass was made, it came into my mind, that I once heard an announcement saying “Sacred mountain, Fuji is coming in sight in your right side!” when I was in the train of JR Tokaido Shinkansen. This glass surely express the beautiness and holiness of its mountain.
Please enjoy delicious liquor and other drinks with Mt.Fuji Glass, the World Heritage, thinking of skill of Japanese craftsmen… You can see a kind of visual effect by pouring drinks, changes its color depending on the glass contents. Meaning that, if you drink whisky with this glass, you can see the golden Fuji. If you pour red wine, Red Fuji emerges at the bottom of the glass.
What makes it more special, is that the manufacturing process of Mt. Fuji glass has been patented, so no one can make this glass!
2013年被认定为世界遗产的富士山。现在经日本的职人们精湛的技术,在我们享受美酒饮料的同时就能一享其雄伟美丽!
At our Le-Noble stores, please try to hold the glass in your hand! Think of your happy hour with Mt.Fuji Glass. It is also perfect for a nice gift. Looking forward to seeing you at our stores!
