Forest, a 3 minute walk from Kugahara Station on the Tokyu Ikegami Line, is located in the Lilac Avenue shopping street. The shop sells Edo Kiriko, a kind of handcrafted product.They have their own original brand known as Kamata Kirico. A masterpiece of Kamata Kirico is “Suikyou” (reflective water), an Edo Kiriko which has a design that fuses in the modernity of Kamata in the Taisei/early Showa Period. The Edo Kiriko craftsmen repeatedly shave the glass of their products, creating a simple yet complicated design with delicate circles. Although there are a lot of sharp cuts, Kamata Kirico is special as it is made with round cuts, making it easy to hold.
