    Pierced earrings/Clip-on earrings of lovely Kinmokusei made of Mino Washi.

    We have prepared the Kinmokusei, which is also desired in autumn, with Mino Washi!
    The three-flowered kinmokusei rhinoceros casually sway with the movement of your body.
    How about this for a colorful addition to your autumn coordination, which tends to use more subdued shades?

    The size is almost the same as the real Kinmokusei.
    The petals and leaves are cut one by one with scissors, so there are individual differences.
    Please enjoy the differences in the way they bloom, just like real flowers.

    [Please select from the options to change the metal fittings.]

    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.
