About our workshop: Since ancient times, jade has symbolized wealth and power, reserved for only the chosen few. Jade magatama and other jade beads have been excavated from Jomon period ruins in Japan, and the Kojiki, Japan's oldest historical record, contains the legend of Princess Nunakawa, a goddess associated with Itoigawa jade. While many gemstones are simply used as decorative objects, jade is said to have been used for a variety of purposes, including in rituals offering prayers. Jade has been used overseas as a material for ornaments and furnishings due to its beauty, but it is also an interesting stone that is used for similar purposes in faraway places, such as healing the body as a stone with mysterious powers, or as a spiritual stone used in magic. What on earth did ancient people learn from jade?
Perhaps he felt a power like this. Japan has what is said to be the oldest jade culture in the world, dating back 7,000 years to the Jomon period. We feel it is our mission to spread the word about the splendor of Itoigawa jade, which has been treasured since ancient times, and to convey to the world Japan's jade culture, which is on a par with the Mayan and Incan civilizations, and we work every day in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. We hope that the works of our workshop will be of use to you.
