Glasswork was introduced to Japan by the Nanban trade during the period of national seclusion, which brought it to Dejima.
Generally, blown glass is called "beadro” in Japanese. The word is derived from "vidro," the Portuguese word for glassware, and was introduced to Japan by the Portuguese who came to Japan in 1542.
The word "geaman" in Japanese comes from "diamant", the Dutch word for "diamond." Faceted glass is called "geaman" because it is crafted using diamonds.
Nagasaki, which prospered as a trading port with Portugal, is also the place where glassware was introduced.
