CONCEPT

Not full moon, but the one before the full moon.
The Japanese mind regards the moon just before full moon as goodness.
The beauty of incompleteness, the beauty of imperfection, and the beauty of blank space.

The 13th moon of the synodic month.
Things that can’t be expressed with perfection or satisfaction would only appear with deficiency.
People can feel the beauty of satisfaction by how they make the deficiency beautiful.

Eyewear is incomplete when they leave the hands of craftsmen, just like the 13th moon.
We present our products as the 13th moon.

In the Heian period when “The Tale of Genji” was written,
it was a taste of aristocrats to feel the seasons sensitively
and wear the colors appropriate to the season and incorporate them to their lives.

Eyewear becomes complete when they match with each owner who enjoys the taste of wearing colors that matches the season.
