An Edo kiriko tumbler in cosmo blue, cut with an image of Astro Boy in flight to mark seventy years since his debut.
The Piece
The glass is cased in deep blue and then cut by hand so that the clear layer beneath shows through in lines and facets. Around the bowl Atom flies among stars and traditional kiriko patterns, and the base is cut in a radiating star. It comes in its presentation box printed with the anniversary logo.
New and unopened.
Atom in Edo Kiriko
Edo kiriko is a style of cut glass that began in Edo, the old name of Tokyo, in the nineteenth century and is now a traditional Japanese craft, known for clear glass cut in bold geometric patterns.
Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
More Tezuka pieces wait on the anime and character shelf.
