Since its explosive mobile game launch, Cygames' "Uma Musume Pretty Derby" project has been a runaway hit, with its anime adaptations and merchandise collaborations consistently topping charts. The game recently celebrated its 4th anniversary, and with a new anime adaptation of the "Uma Musume Cinderella Gray" spin-off manga dropping this April, its momentum is absolutely unstoppable.
Now, get ready for a truly luxurious collaboration! "Uma Musume Pretty Derby" is teaming up with Japan's master craftspeople of Edo Kiriko to release a stunning cut-glass tumbler themed after the legendary Orfevre. This exquisite design perfectly showcases the allure of traditional craftsmanship. Priced at a cool 110,000 JPY, it's currently available for pre-order on the official Cystore website.
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese craft renowned for its beautifully cut glass. Characterized by clear colors and intricate patterns, these vibrant glass vessels are meticulously hand-carved by expert artisans on double-layered glass, resulting in delicate, lustrous pieces that are true works of art.
The real-life racehorse that inspired Orfevre was famously dubbed the "Golden Tyrant" for its absolute dominance on the track and fiery temperament. In 2015, it was inducted into the Japan Racing Association Hall of Fame.
As for the Uma Musume herself, Orfevre proclaims herself the "King of the Racetrack," fearless and uninhibited, embodying a wild, queen-like demeanor. Her unique race outfit further emphasizes her unparalleled noble aura.
The glass design takes inspiration from Orfevre's signature orange-yellow hair. Master artisans have meticulously carved beautiful patterns using the traditional "Kenbishi" technique, creating the "Six-Crown Kenbishi" to symbolize her six G1 victories. This intricate craftsmanship reveals different nuances from every angle, truly showcasing the captivating charm of Edo Kiriko.
The base of the glass features the "Soko-giku" (bottom chrysanthemum) technique, designed to evoke the iridescent glow in Orfevre's eyes. Looking down into the glass from above, you'll discover a gorgeous embellishment that highlights the delicate beauty of Edo Kiriko. This particular pattern is a true test of skill, allowing for absolutely no shortcuts in its execution.
Each purchase includes a dedicated paulownia wood box, perfect for display and safekeeping.
As a special bonus, buyers will receive a large acrylic stand featuring Orfevre, with brand-new artwork drawn exclusively for this collaboration!
