KAGAMI CRYSTAL Co., Ltd. established by Kozo Kagami, opened Japan’s first crystal glass factory in 1934. Since its foundation, the company has pursued higher glass-making skills and techniques, including hand-blowing, hand-cutting and engraving, to fashion
its original quality glass products. The company’s “benedetto” glassware line is a fusion of the Japanese refined sense of simplicity and cubic design: minimalist design sharply cut into glass with color overlay imparts a unique luster to the finished product.

Modern sense blended with the traditional Edo-kiriko technique creates elegant yet practical pieces that enrich everyday living.
KAGAMI CRYSTAL Co., Ltd. is Japan’s leading crystal glassware maker, offering products that express a high standard of aestheticism and the spiritual wealth of a mature society.
