I was inspired by the song [Ruins and Paradise].
I loved this song from the moment I encountered it as a student, and I still listen to it often.
This song is divine and fantastic, and it stirs the imagination.
The lyrics of the song say, "The color of the flower dedicated to the altar at the bottom of the water is white," so I layered petals made of norihigucho-gami (traditional Japanese paper) to create the image of a white flower shimmering in the water.
The petals do not stand out because of the thinness of the paper, but rather blend in with the blue-dyed paper.
From a distance, the design looks like a cabochon pattern, making it easy to wear even for those who do not like [cute].
On the other side, we did not put flowers, but used Czech beads and clear beads to express the drops of morning dew from the forest falling on the surface of the water through leaves and their trails.

The petals were cut with scissors, and the veins were drawn by hand on each petal.
The drops dripping from the glass cabochon are also made with Japanese paper.

By using fewer metal parts, the light shines through beautifully, giving the piece a more water-like appearance.
The blue-colored washi is coated with lame to express the shimmering surface of the water, making it sparkle and shine.
The back side of the glass cabochon is coated with a thick layer of resin, and the part that touches the skin is polished to eliminate discomfort when worn.

About the materials
The back of the glass cabochon and the flower are made of Mino Washi (machine-made Japanese paper) produced in Gifu Prefecture.
Mino Washi is made by bleaching Kozo (paper mulberry), the raw material of Washi, using plenty of water from Nagara River, a clear stream in Gifu Prefecture, for a long time.
Mino Washi is made by pouring the blessings of Gifu into it.

We aim to convey the charms of Gifu Prefecture to more people and instill pride in the locals for its attractions.
With this goal in mind, we initiated our activities in 2016.

Commitment to our products:
Seki-city, where I reside, is a town with a strong tradition of swordsmithing, earning it the moniker "town of cutlery." However, over time, the number of swordsmiths has declined, and young people express sentiments like, "There is nothing in this town but cutlery."

Despite having a world-class tradition, it's becoming increasingly challenging for people to appreciate its splendor. I hope that the young individuals who will lead the next generation will come to love this town even more. Fueled by this sentiment, I took up the shears of this town to create something unique that aligns with the current times.

Since I intended to use a local tool, I selected Mino Japanese paper, a traditional craft from the neighboring town, as the cutting material. Mino Washi, still recognized as an intangible cultural heritage, is a traditional craft representative of Gifu, produced from the clear Nagara River and the rich nature of Gifu Prefecture.

Just by looking at the Mino Washi supple, damage-resistant, delicate, and beautiful, I felt thrilled. However, I had an image of Washi = old-fashioned, I strive to create a new design that overturns the conventional image of Washi and is easy to incorporate into modern life.

The sharpness of Seki's scissors is excellent, allowing them to cut through the daily changes in washi, depending on the humidity and the way the paper is made, to give it the shape I desire. The sharpness of the shears varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The difference is evident, unlike those produced in other prefectures or inexpensive ones.

Presently, I am endeavoring to create works that enable the viewer to feel the texture of washi even more.

We will deliver works that amplify the charm of Gifu Prefecture.
