When asked what the deciding factor is for choosing jewelry, how do they usually respond? Some may say: because it's a precious gemstone, or because
it's their favorite color, or because it's a precious metal that suits them ... , but the most common response is simply "because the design is wonderful."

Ishō, which can translate to design in English can also be defined as something that holds skillful or material value that can help one approach society for the purpose of achieving a goal. Designing is also about creating new value and presenting diverse values to society.

Jewelry design is not just about use and shape. Behind this is the desire to make the wearer look even more attractive and feel connected with the story
behind each piece. These things can be said to lead to excitement, joy, and an overall enjoyment when wearing jewelry. There is a mysterious splendor of
jewelry design.

Yamanashi participated in the 1st National Industrial Exhibition in 1877, and around this time, the production of original works had already begun.During the period of high economic growth, interest in jewelry increased, and at the same time, the importance of design and efforts to protect designs were
strengthened, along with an increase in the importance of professional designers.In 2007, the Koo-fu project was launched, and the design room began presenting collections, and we are still working on various projects even today.

In the exhibition, along with works that make the wearer shine more attractively, the design drawings and the process of production will be exhibited, and the process from the design drawings to the completion of jewelry will be unraveled.Please take a look at the many jewelry pieces that sparkle even more beautifully through trials and error that brought them to be.
