The birth of turbomarmoratus jewelry that shines in indigo cloth
A jewelery necklace of turbomarmoratus that gives off a fantastic light with gorgeous colors. Luminous shellfish is a large snail that lives in warm seas such as Kagoshima and Okinawa. Although it is a very delicious shell for food, it has a beautiful mother-of-pearl inside the shell and has long been prized as a material for ornaments. This luminous shell is also used for the decoration of the Raden on the treasure of Shosoin.
In Amami, the turbomarmoratus has been loved for a long time and is a familiar existence. From the desire to make accessories that look beautiful on indigo cloth, we value the blessings of nature. I asked for production. When the turbomarmoratus, which has been carefully polished one by one, is matched with indigo clothes, it has an impressive design that mysteriously shines like the moon or the twinkling stars floating in the night sky of Amami.

Living in the remote island of Amami, Kakeromajima, while enjoying the blessings of nature’s vegetation, I make various works with hand-picked natural island herbs and indigo dyeing using Amami’s Ryukyu indigo.
