This is a ring of the popular work [Mino Washi Drop].
The texture of Japanese paper and the color of the [Mino Washi Drop] series are maintained, and a thin and compact size is produced.

We hope that the brightly-colored drop will brighten your heart from your hand.
Furthermore, when light shines through the drop, the transparency of the Japanese paper increases and it changes to a fresh look.
Wear it in a single color or collect multiple colors.
You can also combine it with the sister work [Mino Washi Drop] series!
Please enjoy not only going out but also in your room with [Mino Washi Drop], which looks like ore or amber sugar and is cute just by looking at it*.

Since the inside of the drop is not hollow, it will not be crumpled or deformed even if dropped or bumped.
Also, the ring fittings are free size, so you can adjust the size to your preference.
The ring is thicker, so it is more stable.

About the materials
Mino Washi (machine-made Japanese paper) produced in Gifu Prefecture is used for the drop.
Mino Washi is made by bleaching Kozo (paper mulberry), the raw material of Washi, with 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.

Drop ... Mino Washi, resin (LED resin)
Metal fittings ... Surgical stainless steel

Point
☆It can be used as you like regardless of the top or bottom.
Vivid colors are available, so it is recommended to use it as a point of reference.
☆The design does not depend on the season, and can be used for a long time.
☆It goes well with the Pierced earrings/Clip-on earrings of the sister work [Mino Washi Drop]! It is also highly recommended as a set gift.
The resin (LED resin) is soaked for durability and water resistance.
The LED resin is soaked in resin (LED resin) for durability and water resistance, so there is little discoloration and you can enjoy the texture for a long time.
Even if it is soaked in water, it will not break or tear, so you can use it with peace of mind. *Please check the following precautions for handling.

Cautions
Each piece is handmade, so the size, shape, color, etc. may differ from the image.
Since the pattern and color of the drop are all handmade, there may be individual differences and dust may be mixed in.
Since they are glued to the ring base by hand, there are individual differences in the inclination of the drop.
Although the ring is coated with resin for durability and water resistance, please do not soak it in water for a long time or leave it wet.
There is a possibility of color fading, color migration, and deterioration of metal fittings.
If it should get wet, wipe off the water gently with tissue paper or a soft cloth and dry well.
If you touch the Japanese paper part without drying it thoroughly, there is a possibility that the Japanese paper will come off.
Do not rub with sharp objects. It may cause holes to appear.
When not being worn, please keep the metal fittings clean, avoid high temperature and humidity, and store in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight.

Jima

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.
