About Tsugaru Vidro
Originating from Hokuyo Glass in Aomori, once Japan’s leading maker of glass fishing floats, Tsugaru Vidro carries forward generations of glassblowing expertise.
When plastic replaced glass floats, the artisans turned their chūbuki free-blowing technique toward creating decorative glassware, blending their own colours to capture the beauty of Japan’s four seasons.
Founded in 1977, Tsugaru Vidro is now recognised as an Aomori Prefecture Traditional Craft, celebrated for its gentle warmth, vivid hues, and timeless handmade quality.
