Why TOCT Turned Craft into Jewelry

Is there craftsmanship close to you
in your everyday life?

Craft is, at its core,
an everyday object with artistic value

I believe its true value is expressed
when it exists close to us in daily life

Today, however,
craftsmanship and Japanese culture are increasingly treated as something “special,”
growing distant from everyday life
and becoming harder to reach

To be honest,
I myself have not had many opportunities
to bring craft into my daily life

Even with something as simple as a vessel,
because it is expensive and beautiful,
I hesitate to use it casually in everyday life

And so, without thinking too much about it,
I end up choosing things that are inexpensive and easy to use instead


To bring craft into everyday life


From this desire,
we create craft pieces
in the form of jewelry that can be worn

I believe handcraft has the power
to calm the mind
and enrich the heart

Because we spend
most of our time each day within society,
we chose the form of something that can be worn

To wear craft,
and spend each day together with it

In unexpected moments,
we hope people can feel
a quiet sense of excitement
and space within the heart

A world where craft naturally exists within everyday life,
and culture is naturally passed down

We hope these craft pieces in the form of jewelry
can help weave that kind of landscape
