Discover the fascinating world of Edo-Kiriko, the traditional art of Japanese cut crystal, at the one-day symposium "Edo-Kiriko: The art of Japanese Cut Crystal" in Edinburgh. Led by the esteemed Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) in collaboration with the renowned Horiguchi-Kiriko glass studio from Tokyo, this symposium delves into the shared culture and heritage between Scotland and Japan through the medium of cut crystal.

Immerse yourself in a captivating event featuring a lineup of expert speakers, a live demonstration of glass cutting, and an object showcase at the prestigious ECA venue, West Court. This symposium centers around the globally acclaimed Japanese glass master, Toru Horiguchi, and aims to ignite discussions on the lost art of crystal cutting in the UK. By introducing Edo-Kiriko, the symposium seeks to create a new platform for cultural exchange between Scotland and Japan.

Drawing on a historical connection that dates back to the late 19th century, when Scottish glassmakers played a pivotal role in modernizing Japan's glass industry, this event sheds light on the shared material culture and heritage between these two glassmaking nations. It also addresses the challenges that the UK glass scene currently faces. Moreover, the symposium explores the value of exchanging and sharing intangible cultural heritage through the transfer of specialist glassmaking knowledge, skills, and meaning.

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
