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, 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 lands, 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 is said to have the world's oldest jade culture, 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 Japan's jade culture to the world, on a par with the Mayan and Incan civilizations. We hope that the works of our workshop will be of use to you.
