Summer Sound Glass Exhibition

From Saturday, June 24th, at the Asakusa Kappabashi main store,
Held the "Summer Sound Glass Exhibition."
Including wind chimes, a symbol of summer,
Somen noodle dishes, mosquito repellents,
Bamboo ice buckets and fans, etc.
There will be items that will make you feel the arrival of summer.

Edo Wind Chimes made from Schoolbag Leather

"TSUCHI-YA" produced product "Edo Wind Chimes made from Schoolbag Leather Strips" in 9 colors.
It will be available in limited quantities from Saturday, June 24, 2023.
I came across this at Shinohara Furin Honpo, a long-established Edo wind chime store .
The wind chimes used are made of clear glass with bubbles and wrinkles.
Because it is not suitable for painting,
The unused wind chimes were combined with the leather of "Tsuchiya Kaban's school bags" to create
Upcycled into colorful Edo wind chimes.
Sold at TSUCHI-YA Asakusa Kappabashi main store and on the EC site.
The price is 4,950 yen including tax.

Wind chimes with a rich variety of expressions that only glass can offer

Edo wind chimes are characterized by their various designs.
Because Edo wind chimes are painted from the inside, the surface remains glossy.
Because of the demand for gloss and luster,
Anything with bubbles or wrinkles on the surface will never see the light of day.
We believe that it is these unpainted wind chimes that
I thought that there was an appeal to handmade glass.

Colorful leather school bags
Tsuchiya Kaban has over 40 different types of school bags.
The wind chimes this time are "colors that even adults would want."
Prism Blue, Prism Khaki, Gray,
Camel, pistachio, mint blue,
Available in 9 colors: lavender, ivory, and beige.
Some leathers are waterproof and resistant to the elements.

Cool glassware with bubbles and silver glaze

At the Summer Sounds of Glass Exhibition,
In addition to wind chimes, we also have glassware perfect for summer use.
I am a staff member at TSUCHI-YA Asakusa Kappabashi Main Branch.
Makiko Yoda, a glass artist, and
They jointly developed a mosquito bait and a somen bowl that can be hung with mosquito coils inside.
It has a 4-way design and can be placed, hung, or used as a flower vase.
The glass bubbles and silver glaze are also characteristic.
