The Theme of the Exhibition: "That Which Holds and Releases"

DAN TOMIMATSU is a jewelry brand by designer Dan Tomimatsu. Its items, which blend simplicity with elegance, are crafted under the concept of "design that affects the heart."

Each piece of jewelry is also handled by Japanese jewelers possessing world-class technical skill. DAN TOMIMATSU's jewelry, which has no physical function beyond being a pure adornment, embodies "design that affects the heart."

The current exhibition unfolds around three collections: "UNBOUND," "DISSOLVE," and "ENLINK."

"UNBOUND" features jewelry created with the theme of "that which holds and releases." "DISSOLVE" explores "that which stands at the boundary between nature and humanity," using a unique technique developed by DAN TOMIMATSU. "ENLINK" utilizes gold thread, a material with ancient roots in Nara, Tomimatsu's ancestral home, weaving together "ancient and modern" into a single collection.
