About our workshop: Since ancient times, jade has symbolized wealth and power, available only to 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 book, contains the legend of Princess Nunakawa, a goddess associated with Itoigawa jade. While many gemstones are simply used as ornaments, 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, and as a spiritual stone used in magic. What on earth did ancient people get from jade?
Perhaps he felt a certain power. Japan has what is said to be the oldest jade culture in the world, dating back to the Jomon period 7,000 years ago. We work every day in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, with the mission of spreading the wonders of Itoigawa jade, which has been treasured since ancient times, and conveying to the world Japan's jade culture, which is on a par with the Mayan and Incan civilizations. We hope that the works of our workshop will be of use to you.
