Item Description

This "fake" stone pile is a collaboration with ceramic artist Ichinotani. It's inspired by the countless stone piles that cover the entire surface of Amanoyasugawara (Miyazaki Prefecture, the designer's birthplace). Stone piles are still used in many places today for a variety of purposes, including talismans, religious services, and funerals. By mixing two types of clay, a marbled river stone pattern is recreated, and after two firings, the piece is painstakingly polished to mimic the texture of stone. The word "stone pile," derived from the Japanese word "Sainokawara," is a metaphor for "wasted effort." The "just stone" that results from the relentless polishing evokes a sense of tragedy reminiscent of Yoshiharu Tsuge's "The Incompetent Man." It expresses the designer's own identity while also inviting us to reconsider the beauty we see in our everyday lives.

陶芸作家 一ノ谷氏とのコラボレーションアイテム、陶器で作られた「偽」積み石。 天安河原(宮崎県 = デザイナーの出生地)の一面に広がる無数の積み石にインスパイアされた作品。積み石は現在でも護符や信仰、弔いなど様々な役割を持って数多くの場所で活用されているオブジェクトである。2種類の土を混ぜ込むことで川石のようなマーブル模様を再現し、二度の焼成後ひたすら研磨すること限りなく石の質感に近づけた。積み石の語源である賽の河原は「無駄な努力」の喩えとされており、途方もなく研磨した結果出来上がった「ただの石」からはつげ義春「無能の人」にも通じる悲壮感が感じられ、デザイナー自身のアイデンティティを表明すると同時に、身近な美について再考するよう示唆している。

Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry <br/>We recommend cleaning your silver jewelry regularly using warm water with a few drops of mild detergent and a 925 silver polishing cloth. Gently remove any surface dirt or tarnish. After cleaning, allow it to dry completely before polishing and storing it in its sealed bag to ensure its longevity.

Care for coated (plated) items : After use, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat, sebum, and dirt. To prevent discoloration and scratches, store the item in a jewelry box or pouch after use.
Be sure to remove the watch when showering, bathing, swimming, or exercising. Avoid strong friction or impact as this may cause the plating to peel off.
