Handmade Dress-Up Accessories, Unparalleled in the World

A camera, in its completed form, is beautiful.—How many cameras do you suppose exist in the world? The era of competing on functionality seems to be drawing to a close.

Cameras, too, have entered the age of dress-up. Customization... men are drawn to this word. And surely, no one has ever seen customization like this before.

JAY TSUJIMURA's Premium Collection features handmade silver hot shoe covers and soft release buttons, unique in the world. They are the ultimate dress-up accessories for customizing rangefinder cameras like Leica.

Premium Floral

The wild, powerful vitality of plants and their elegantly flowing forms express "strength hidden within beauty."
By intricately crafting the florals in three dimensions, the light and shadow emanating from the silver create a truly "Wild but Elegant" aesthetic.
Price | Hot Shoe Cover: ¥24,150
Soft Release Button: ¥17,850

Premium Lizard

The lizard, with its beautiful skin that belies its fierce nature in the wild. We have recreated its flowing, elegant form in mirror-finished silver.
By meticulously carving each individual scale of the lizard, we have achieved a finish that, while made of silver, possesses the texture of leather. The result is nothing short of sexy.

Make Your Rangefinder Camera Wildly Elegant

The Floral and Lizard designs are handcrafted. Their luxurious sheen and subtle patina will further enhance your camera's allure. Furthermore, on the back of each Premium Collection piece, we have engraved the message "NICE SHOT" to signify never missing a perfect moment.

Hot shoe covers are available in two types: one specifically for Leica and another for other models. The latter includes compatibility with Nikon, Fuji X-Pro1, X-100, X-10, RICOH GR, and more. The soft release buttons are a universal specification for rangefinder cameras.

The era is shifting from the mass to the individual. I am a "creator" and a "maker." We also accept custom orders not only in silver but also in gold, platinum, and even with embedded diamonds.

Try customizing your rangefinder camera to be wildly elegant.
