Le travail du verre d’Edo Kiriko est un des plus beaux arts traditionnels du Japon. Vous pourrez admirer l’un des meilleurs artisanat japonais dans la boutique tokyoïte Kagami Crystal.
Le premier atelier de verre en cristal du Japon depuis 1934
Adoré par l'agence impériale du Japon
La laque? le bambou? la menuiserie? l'origami?
Eh bien, vous n'avez pas tort, mais cette fois-ci, JAPANKURU aimerait vous présenter une partie de l'artisanat du Pays du soleil levant que vous n'avez jamais vu jusqu'à présent:
Nous parlons bien du verre!
Croyez-le ou non, la relation du Japon avec le verre date du troisième siècle (période Yayoi)
mais ce n'est que durant la période Edo (1615-1868) que l'art du verre que nous connaissons aujourd'hui
s'est véritablement implanté.
Voilà pourquoi nous aimerions aujourd'hui vous faire partager le "Edo kiriko"
et vous montrer où vous en procurer: dans la boutique la plus populaire du Japon à Ginza, Tokyo.
Vous trouverez deux types de verres dans la boutique Kagami Crystal.
Le verre en cristal et l'Edo kiriko.
Le verre en cristal consiste en un amoncellement de matériaux pures qui formeront un verre transparent.
L'Edo kiriko, qui est le principal artisanat venu de Tokyo, est taillé dans le verre,
dont les coupures, fines et méticuleuses,
ne peuvent être produites que par les mains d'artisans japonais.
Mais comment arrivent-ils à taillé de si délicates oeuvres d'art?
Nous y viendrons un peu plus tard, mais tout d'abord, il est important de savoir ce que "coupure" désigne.
Les "coupures" font références au verre qui a été taillé en disques faits d'émeraudes
ou autres pierres précieuses.
C'est ainsi que des motifs apparaissent sur celui-ci.
Ces formes produiront alors différents effets visuels en fonction de l'angle et de la lumière
au travers d'un procédé délicat.
A l'origine, on utilisait seulement du verre transparent mais des verres colorés tels que le jaune, le rouge ou le bleu sont progressivement apparus. Ce qui fait du Edo Kiriko unique sont ses motifs fins, simples mais sublimes, qui ont été taillés à la main. Il sont d'une certaines manières similaires à ceux qu'on voit sur les kimono car ils représentent généralement des crysanthèmes, des feuilles de bambous ou des formes géométriques.
C'est en 1985 que l'Edo Kiriko a été désigné comme un artisanat de Tokyo et en 2002 qu'il est reconnu comme un art japonais! Il est facile de comprendre pourquoi! Les disques de verres amoncelés sur plusieurs couches sont tout à fait étonnants.
"Kiriko" (切子) veut dire "facette" en japonais, et désigne les multitudes de motifs qui sont gravés sur la surface du verre.
Quel est le procédé utilisé pour tailler l'Edo Kiriko?
Premièrement, sachez qu'il y a une très large panoplie de roues pour tailler le verre Edo Kiriko!
Waridashi (割り出し) ou Sumitsuke – permet d'utiliser de l'encre afin de dessiner les contours des motifs qui seront taillés dans le verre.
Arazuri (粗刷) – sert à graver les premiers contours dessinés. Certains utilisent un mélange d'émeri et d'eau afin de couper dans le verre.
Sanbankake (三番掛け) – applique une poudre d'émeri pour des coupures plus détaillées.
Ishikake (石掛) – est une pierre à aiguiser qui permet de lisser le verre.
Migaki (磨き) – utilisé pour polir l'oeuvre d'art.
Bafukake (バフ掛け) – utilisé pour lustrer le verre.
Kagami Crystal a installé son premier atelier en 1934 au Japon. Le verre en cristal et l'Edo Kiriko produit par Kagami Crystal a non seulement gagné de nombreux prix dans le monde entier, mais est aussi apprécié et utilisé par la famille impériale ou le ministre des affaires étrangères. A l'intérieur de la boutique, vous y verrez même une bouteille de parfum WHITE ROSE de SHISEIDO ou une bouteille commémorative de whisky Suntory.
Kagami Crystal ne possède pas que des produits originaux créés par son atelier, il emploie de nombreux artisans locaux.
En vous arrêtant à la boutique, vous pourrez admirer comment ces artistes expriment leur amour, leur créativité et leur détermination au travers de l'Edo Kiriko.
Grâce aux couleurs chatoyantes de ce dernier, Kagami Crystal fabrique également des colliers.
Si vous pensiez que les détails minutieux sur le verre était incroyable, attendez de voir le travail mis à l'oeuvre sur les colliers.
Vous cherchez toujours quels cadeaux ramener du Japon?
Le verre est relativement bon marché du fait d'être produit massivement et rapidement. Néanmoins, cela prend à peu près un mois pour fabriquer une simple oeuvre d'Edo Kiriko. C'est pourquoi il est facile d'imaginer à quel point Kagami Crystal représente le raffinement à la japonaise. Vous pouvez apercevoir les merveilleuses compétences de chacun des artisans rien que sur nos photos. Nous espérons que vous aurez l'occasion de visiter Kagami Crystal et peut-être même de récupérer un produit en verre Edo Kiriko. Cela reste un des meilleurs moyens de ramener chez vous l'esprit japonais, que ce soit pour vous ou pour offrir à un proche.
