Japanese brand PREMICO (プレミコ) is a master at combining high-end timepieces and collectibles with mega-popular anime, consistently dropping stunning designs that fans just can't resist.
Recently, the brand announced an epic collaboration for the 40th anniversary of the beloved series, "Dragon Ball Z." They're launching a special "Edo Kiriko" commemorative glass collection featuring none other than Son Goku & Vegeta. Priced at 49,280 JPY, these beauties are limited to just 400 sets and are already up for pre-order on PREMICO's official website.
These aren't just any glasses; they're premium Edo Kiriko pieces, a designated "National Traditional Craft" of Tokyo glass artistry. Each one is meticulously handcrafted by seasoned artisans, making every single glass a unique masterpiece.
The collection spotlights Goku's iconic orange and Vegeta's signature blue as primary colors. On the vibrant, translucent colored overlay glass, you'll find intricate etchings depicting Super Saiyan Goku and Vegeta unleashing their dazzling power. The explosive energy of their signature moves is perfectly captured through bold yet delicate hand-cutting and sandblasting techniques, blending raw power with exquisite detail.
Both glasses are individually crafted by master artisans from a long-established workshop affiliated with the "Edo Kiriko Cooperative Association," ensuring each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
▼ Son Goku Edition
Starting with a powerful orange overlay glass base, this piece depicts Super Saiyan Goku charging up his ultimate attack. The background features a "chrysanthemum-link pattern," symbolizing Super Saiyan energy and the Dragon Ball stars, all hand-cut by the artisans.
A major highlight is how the deep cuts on the bottom appear to glow like a special attack when viewed from above. The other side boasts an original, dynamic Shenron illustration, harmonizing with the chrysanthemum-link pattern. This pattern symbolizes "long-lasting joy," echoing Goku's incredible growth and the imagery of the Dragon Ball stars. The base of the glass is etched with all seven Dragon Balls and a unique serial number.
▼ Vegeta Edition
On a cool blue overlay glass, Super Saiyan Vegeta burns with fighting spirit. The traditional hand-cut "hemp leaf pattern" seems to radiate endless energy. Circular cuts at the bottom of the glass capture the explosive impact of his special move, exuding intense power.
The other side features an original, dynamic Shenron illustration, complemented by the hand-cut hemp leaf pattern. Used since the Kamakura period in Buddhist statues and mandalas, the hemp leaf pattern symbolizes vitality and infinity. The base of this glass also features all seven Dragon Balls and a unique serial number.
Each glass comes in an original, high-quality paulownia wood box, with the "Dragon Ball Z" logo and the Four-Star Dragon Ball emblazoned on the lid.
