About Us
?May this glass bring a smile to someone�s face.?
Glass born within the scenery of Otaru is...
a small work of art that reflects the light and seasons, gently touching the heart.
No two pieces are ever the same,
embodying the breath and wishes of the artisan who created it.

Taisho Glass is a specialized brand based in Otaru that shares the charm of glass craftsmanship.
Through glassworks handcrafted by artisans, we deliver the warmth of glass and the passion of the makers.
What Taisho Glass Values
We believe that glass is not just something to "display" or "use,"
but something that gently stays close to your daily life.
We hope to deliver it as a complete experience,
including its warmth and weight when held, and the gentle flickering of light.
Because we want you to take home not just the glass, but the very atmosphere of Otaru and the spirit of our artisans.
At Taisho Glass, we value not what you see on a screen,
but the sparkle you feel the moment you hold the glass in your hands.
The depth of color, the shimmer of light, the weight, and even the temperature.
These qualities reveal their true beauty only in the air of Otaru.
That is why we intentionally do not sell our glass online.
We want to preserve those once-in-a-lifetime moments��
when you stumble upon our shop during your journey, encounter a piece of glass, and feel your heart move.
We hope that the glass you take into your hands
carries with it the light of our storefront and the breath of the artisans.
With this wish in our hearts, we look forward to welcoming you in Otaru today.
Otaru Glass
Otaru�s glass culture began with the production of oil lamps and fishing floats,
and has grown alongside the city�s history as a port town.
Taisho Glass carries on this legacy by sharing the beauty of glass
through creating, using, and experiencing it in the modern era.
Information on Otaru�s glass craft experiences and facilities throughout the city
is organized from an administrative perspective on the official Otaru City website, under �Experience Facilities.�
