江戸べっ甲は、タイマイの甲羅を原料として、獨自の鼈甲の張り合わせ技術を用いた工藝品。江戸期の關東地方においては、盛んに和裝品が製造されており、現在では和洋裝飾品、眼鏡等が製造されています。

Edo tortoiseshell goods are made from the shells of hawksbill sea turtles, using a special technique to attach pieces of shell together. During the Edo era, tortoiseshell kimono accessories were produced in the Kanto region. Items produced today include accessories for both traditional Japanese and modern Western clothing as well as frames for eyeglasses.
