A type of glassware from the Edo period. Kiriko means cut. It began in the autumn of 1846 (Koka 3), when Shimazu Narioki, the feudal lord of Satsuma (Kagoshima Prefecture), needed glassware and glass bottles for pharmaceuticals, and invited glass craftsman Shimoto Kamejiro from Edo to open a factory. During the reign of Shimazu Nariakira, the Shuseikan was built to promote production in the domain, and various industries were modernized based on Western technology. As part of this, European glass manufacturing methods were introduced, and Satsuma Kiriko was born. The glass is lead glass, and in the case of copper red glass, the specific gravity is around 3.5. In many cases, a transparent layer of glass is covered with reddish-red, blue, or purple glass, and the pattern is created by cutting from the surface. The products, such as plates, bowls, bowls, goblet, and bottles, met the demand of the feudal lord and the upper class, but were also used as gifts for domains around the country, and orders from various domains also increased. The museum was short-lived due to damage to the Shuseikan during the Anglo-Satsuma War (1863) and Nariakira's early death, but it is highly regarded for its artistic quality.

江戸時代のガラス器の一種。切子とはカットの意。1846年(弘化3)秋、薩摩(鹿児島県)の藩主島津斉興(なりおき)が、製薬のためにガラス器、ガラス瓶などの製造を必要とし、江戸からガラス職人、四本(しもと)亀次郎を招いて工場を開いたのに始まる。島津斉彬(なりあきら)の代になって藩の生産振興のために集成館が建てられ、西欧の技術をもとに諸工業の近代化が進められたが、その一環としてヨーロッパのガラス製法が導入され、薩摩切子が生まれた。ガラスは鉛ガラスで、銅赤ガラスの場合、比重は3.5前後。透明なガラス層に、赤紅色あるいは青、紫などのガラスをかぶせ、表層からカットして模様を表す場合が多い。製品は、皿、鉢、碗(わん)、杯、瓶などで、藩主をはじめとする上流階級の需要にこたえる一方、諸国の藩への贈答品として使われ、諸藩からの注文も増加した。薩英戦争(1863)の際に集成館が被災し、また斉彬が早逝したために短命に終わったが、その芸術性は高く評価されている。 [友部 直] ©公益社団法人鹿児島県観光連盟"> 薩摩切子 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
