Collection: Couen
I research culture and language through the ancient tradition of musubi and express them in the mizuhiki strings of musubi. The history and story behind musubi, and the meaning behind musubi, are elaborately incorporated into the design of each piece as the intent of the production.
Mizuhiki is a traditional good-luck charm that can be used for both celebrations and everyday occasions. Mizuhiki is not just material but love and truth. Through mizuhiki, we hope that the world will become a kinder place. I am now using mizuhiki musubi to produce works of art while carefully dealing with every item that appears in our daily lives.</p>
Commitment to our products:
As I picked up various things related to the string called "mizuhiki," which is made of twisted Japanese paper, I realized that the dots I had vaguely held until then had become lines and that it was filled with important invisible things. Yes, the heart of Japan is love. By touching musubi and knowing musubi, you will surely resonate with it because it is inside all of us.
May karma be repeated and connected, and may the world become a kind and gentle place. May I now pass on the wisdom that my predecessors have passed on to me?

zena
zenaWith the concept of "Fashionable Art, Artistic Fashion", zena's earrings are made using a traditional Japanese crafting technique called "Yosemono". This technique allows us to create earrings with a free expression of fascination in form. Inspired by the four seasons of Japan through the tea ceremony, I get my imagination from dancing how to express them beautifully and stylishly. Art meets Fashion, Fashion meets Art. I hope my jewelry will brighten your special day. Enchanting by Design - Ear Jewelry TokyoNao Takanashi was born in Tokyo. After graduating from Seikei University with a degree in Economics, Nao started working in the music industry because she wanted to work in a place where music is played. She was in charge of soundtracks and world music at an e-commerce company, where she was exposed to a lot of new and old music every day, and became interested in fashion and accessories that expressed the world of music through movies, music videos, and CD jackets. After retiring, in 2007, she started selling handmade accessories on her website, which became a permanent fixture in handmade stores nationwide. She has also provided her creations for commercials and costumes for TV magazines. We will learn brazing for more originality and move from handmade to craft.

Shiroitani Koubou
Shiroitani KoubouI want to take care of trees that have grown over decades and centuries. This is what I thought after working as a carpenter for 20 years.
Wood from demolished old houses and scraps from construction sites are disposed of as industrial waste.
I wanted to reduce the amount of wood that had grown over many years being thrown away, and I wanted to preserve it in a different form.
That is when I came across marquetry.
Commitment to our products:- Each product is carefully handmade with designs that utilize carpenters designs and techniques that have been handed down for hundreds of years.
