At midnight on June 3rd, it was raining heavily in Toyo-cho, where the studio is located, and it was almost impossible to walk outside.   Since it was a late-night live, I stayed at a hotel near Shop Channel, but when I turned on the TV in my hotel room, the news of heavy rain damage was all over the place in Japan. I thought before the live, it would be impossible to go to a live show in such a situation. I was worried that the river near my house in Numazu might flood, and there were many customers in the Chubu area, which was likely to be heavily damaged. In such an uneasy situation, we were able to finish the live safely with the encouragement of many customers. As always, thank you very much to all of you. On behalf of all the craftsmen in Bangkok, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Even though the weather was so rough on the day of the live,,,,, The next day,  the storm stopped. It was like a storm aimed to hit a my live show. . . . . There were many people who had...

White Jadeite bangle for a heat wave

Image
    This morning, around 6 o'clock, I opened the window on the balcony a little, and I was surprised to see a hot breeze blowing in, even though I was expecting a cool breeze. Around 7 o'clock, the temperature in Bangkok's Sathorn area was already 39 degrees, and when I went out to the parking lot, it got even hotter and made me feel dizzy. Was it this hot last year? ? ? I think it's the heat that I've never felt before. Since I've been coming to the showroom in the hot afternoon like this, I want to recommend cool jewelry this time of year. Jade which is famous for its coolness is p erhaps related to the fact that jade is hard to crack (high hardness) and has high thermal conductivity. When you touch the surface of the stone, you will feel the coldness as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator. Jade bangles are one of the items that I hesitate to sell online or by mail order because the size is delicate, so Sheen only introduces it to the customers w...

Reproduction of a Jadeite and Sapphire ring.

Image
  It was designed about 20 years ago, but I remember that at that time many unique jade products like this were born in our Artline factry. I really liked this design, but the ring was sold out and I had the brooch instead as my personal belongings, but it went missing with my winter clothes... I'm still looking for it in Japan and Thailand as well. So I made a reproduction version of the ring. As a bee lover, I used acorns sometimes  as a motif other than bees in my jewelry. When making jade jewelry, I try to incorporate various legends and traditional lucky things into my designs, but another important point is that jade itself gives off a strong impression of conservativeness, so, I would like to add some modern and European taste to it. There are many legends about acorns, bees, roses and vines in Europe. These are my favorite things to make into jewelry. I made only one ring this time, so I put in a very beautiful imperial jade. The another one of the twin acorn is filled...

If you live in Thailand, have you already entered the long Songkran holiday? Or those who are from now on,,, or those who will spend this year quietly without moving. Sheen will operate as follows.

During Songkran, Silom Village, where Sheen is located, does not have water fights, so it feels very quiet every year. If you have time, please visit Sheen at this time. Even if you don't go far, how about a short trip like this for those who want to see a little bit of sightseeing in Bangkok? A trip to visit a temple on a boat on a canal, Ride a boat on the Saen Saep canal, the foot of the common people, instead of the Chao Phraya River where tourist boats come and go. It might ...
