Innumerable pieces become one, and the aggregate also functions as a single piece. There is no beginning or end, no direction, no size, no number, and no color. There is no concept.

I feel it through the existence of myself. And I use a tool called “artificiality” to try to cut out a fragment of it and use that to make something concrete. This attempt will never be truly finished.

However, by continuing to perform and refine that action, I can keep believing that I am myself.

Bridal rings

Rather than proposing new designs and values, I focus on continually improving all the qualities required for bridal rings, including the quality of the metal, strength, accuracy of the joint, beauty of the finish, and comfort of the fit, etc. Therefore, I have handled the entire process myself since the establishment of the company, rather than having a division of labor with multiple craftsmen.
