MADE IN JAPAN
RYO YAMASHITA
NATO IN TOKYO IN 1958, RYO YAMASHITA IS RECOGNIZED AS THE LAST CRAFTSMAN CAPABLE OF PRACTICING THE ANCIENT JAPANESE TECHNIQUE OF “EDO KINWAKU,” WHICH DATES BACK ABOUT 350 YEARS AGO, WHEN THE CAPITAL OF THE RISING SUN WAS STILL CALLED EDO.
Today, this technique has almost disappeared, and few are able to carry it on.
RYO YAMASHITA'S EYEGLASS FRAMES, HANDMADE USING THE TRADITIONAL EDO KINWAKU METHOD, ARE TRUE WORKS OF ART.
Each pair is custom-designed for the face of the individual, using materials ranging from bamboo to gold, from silver to iron, always with the aim of achieving that harmony that characterizes each of his works.
His skill in creating customized glasses, where aesthetics and functionality merge, makes each of his creations unique and precious.
