Please note: Although Itoigawa jade is a hard stone, it may break if subjected to strong impact. Please exercise caution when wearing it daily. About our workshop: Since ancient times, jade has symbolized wealth and power, reserved for only the chosen. Jade magatama and other jade beads have been excavated from Jomon period ruins in Japan, and the legend of Princess Nunakawa, associated with Itoigawa jade, is even recorded in the Kojiki, Japan's oldest historical record. Many gemstones are used simply as ornaments, but jade is not just that; it is said to have been used for a variety of purposes, including in rituals to offer prayers. Overseas, jade has been used as a material for ornaments and furnishings due to its beauty, but it is also said to have been used for similar purposes in faraway places, such as being used as a stone with magical powers to heal the body, or as a spiritual stone in magic.
It is also an intriguing stone. What kind of power did ancient people feel from jade? 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 feel it is our mission to spread the word about the splendor of Itoigawa jade, which has been treasured since ancient times, and to convey to the world Japan's jade culture, which is on a par with the Mayan and Incan civilizations, and we work every day in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. We hope that the works of our workshop will be of use to you.
