■ Product Features
This product is a set of sword warriors that appear in the PC browser and smartphone app game "Touken Ranbu-ONLINE-".
MIKAZUKI MUNECHIKA, Kashuu Kiyomitsu, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga,
The Edo Kiriko Cooperative Association has many artisans certified as traditional craftsmen.
This mini glass was created in collaboration with Kagami Crystal, Japan's first crystal glass manufacturer.
The base crystal glass is manufactured using Kagami Crystal's glass molding technology, which is the highest level in Japan.
The colors, inspired by each character - lapis lazuli (MIKAZUKI MUNECHIKA), golden red (Kashuu Kiyomitsu), and clear (Tsurumaru Kuninaga) - and the transparency of the glass create an elegant atmosphere.
The side of the glass is based on the hemp leaf pattern, which is famous as a design of Edo Kiriko and has the meaning of warding off evil.
The design is inspired by a sword flash (the brief flash that appears when a sword is swung).
It is hand-cut by traditional craftsmen belonging to the Edo Kiriko Cooperative Association to express brilliance and strength.
In addition, the crest of each sword warrior has been sandblasted into the bottom.
In addition, actual product samples will be available from 11:00 on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 to Thursday, September 14, 2017.
The exhibition will be held in the 1st floor exhibition space of Kameido Umeyashiki, which also houses the Edo Kiriko Cooperative Association showroom.

■About "Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-"
This is a PC browser and smartphone app game created in collaboration between DMM GAMES and Nitroplus.
The player becomes a master called a Saniwa and collects "Touken Danshi", warriors made up of famous swords from history that have been personified.
They will form and strengthen the Hakujintai (White Blade Corps) and fight the enemy.
It has become a hot topic in many areas, including its story based on historical facts and the interest it attracts in its famous swords.
The service exploded in popularity immediately after it began in January 2015, and within a week the initial server's capacity was reached and new registrations were stopped.
Every time the server is expanded, new users continue to register, and fans of Japanese swords visit museums that display books and swords.
It has garnered a response that goes beyond the scope of the game.
In March 2016, the smartphone app (iOS/Android) "Touken Ranbu-ONLINE- Pocket" was released, which allows data to be linked to the PC browser version.
Furthermore, as a media mix, it has been expanded into musicals, stage plays, and the much-talked-about TV anime "Katsugeki Touken Ranbu."
This is content that will generate excitement for future developments.

■About Kagami Crystal, a crystal glass manufacturer
Kagami Crystal was established in 1934 as Japan's first crystal glass specialty store.
We established an integrated production facility, Kagami Crystal Factory, in Kamata, Tokyo, and began manufacturing domestically produced crystal glass.
The founder, Kozo Kagami, established the company in this factory, bringing with him the techniques he learned in Germany and his uncompromising passion for creativity.
We have maximized the colorless, transparent beauty of crystal and its properties, elevating it to the level of art.
Kozo's passion for his creations began with winning a silver medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1937, followed by an honorary award at the New York World's Fair,
This has borne fruit in the form of numerous accolades, including the Grand Prix at the Brussels World's Fair.
At Kagami Crystal, we abhor creations that aim for momentary, ad-hoc effects.
"Always have the spirit to create things of true value," said Kozo Kagami, and this is the "spirit of creation" that Kagami Crystal holds as its heart.
We will continue to hone our skills through constant practice, striving to create original products using advanced technology.
Through our products that provide lasting satisfaction, we hope to bring "dreams and brilliance to the lives of all our users."
