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, or as a spiritual stone used in magic. What kind of power did ancient people feel from jade? Japan has a rich jade culture, dating back 7,000 years to the Jomon period. We work daily in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, with the mission of spreading the wonder of Itoigawa jade, which has been treasured since ancient times, and conveying Japan's jade culture, which is on a par with the Mayan and Incan civilizations, to the world. We hope that our workshop's works will be of use to you.
