Terashima Yasutarou Shoten is a long-established company specialized in the production of gold and silver thread in Kyoto since its establishment in 1897.
The gold and silver threads are used for kimono belts, various traditional crafts throughout Japan, and in many cultural objects in every region of Japan.
What the President of Terashima cherishes the most, is the desire to "create precious objects" locally by making the most of the glitter of gold and silver threads into an object. Because the brillance of gold and silver cannot be dyed, the genuine shine of gold thread, which is made of real gold leaf, fascinates viewers with its golden color that is an unique way to feel the eternity.The "TABANE" collection, which was developed among the "Atarashikimono Kyoto" project that I assisted, is a beautiful jewelry collection that allows you to lightly wear the brilliance of gold and silver threads.
