Manufacture of Satsuma Kiriko[edit | edit source] The Hari Seiko Zensho (Handbook of Glass Technology), written in 1830 by Kazuyoshi Hanai detailed the manufacture of Satsuma kiriko.[1] The Hari Seiko Zensho presented a glassmaking technique influenced heavily by China.[1] Satsuma kiriko was made by melting lead and mixing it with powdered white stone.[1] As the stone and lead was reheated, zinc was sometimes combined with the mix in order to "eliminate impurities."[1] Finnaly, as the mixture cooled niter was added to it and after melting the compoud was shappen into Satsuma kiriko.[1] Stoopkid7 (talk) 02:06, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
