Noticing the extraordinary in the ordinary all around us

When we think of Tokyo, many of us think of bustling streets, well-known landmarks, and more. But the people who live there are more interested in the ordinary views of their home area. To give everyone a sense of the real Tokyo, our theme for this series is “alleyways.”

It’s all in the things we see and sense everywhere, like the feeling of the ground, the traffic lights, pedestrian walkways, etc., that are so much a part of our daily lives. We developed the Roji series, which combines metal carving and metalworking technologies, to re-create the feel of the ground. The rugged “hard” items (see photo) are made to simulate asphalt.

This jewelry is for the person who keeps their eyes open for the things they like and enjoy in everyday life.
