A Return to the Brand's Origins


The installation, titled "SUBSTANCE," features a collaboration between Daido Moriyama's monochrome photographs, which evoke a sense of stillness and raw authenticity, and CORE JEWELS' exquisite jewelry. Masanori Yamazaki, founder of CORE JEWELS, explains.

"I resonated with Mr. Moriyama's style, which seems to capture the essence of things. Many of his works depict the streets of Shinjuku, our hometown, so this collaboration also signifies a 'return to our origins' for the brand."
