These can be considered art pieces that evoke a sense of "eternity" even in uncertain times.

Designs Flowing Endlessly with Varying Intensity

The new brand "ectm," which launched in Japan in December 2020, is themed around the pursuit of fluid beauty that constantly flows from stillness to motion and back again. Indeed, the collection captures fleeting moments in nature, like gazing at a river's current or a whirlpool, or observing a water droplet falling from a leaf, or a quiet corner of a forest path, all conveying a sense of "endless" movement. However, it's not just delicate; the raw strength and power embedded within the pieces are truly designer Yoneyama's signature.

Supporting this are skilled artisans with whom he shares a strong bond of trust. Anyone with even a little knowledge would recognize the sophisticated techniques used, wondering "How was this made?" The meticulous calculations involved in the finishing (hand-finishing) are also evident.

Designer Yoneyama often says, "We are the extremities." This refers to accessories like jewelry and shoes being worn at the periphery of fashion. He doesn't say this out of humility, but rather, this awareness allows "ectm" designs to possess a subtle quality that naturally blends into fashion while exuding a strong presence on their own. This exquisite sense of balance even lends them the air of vintage jewelry, beloved across generations.

The designs, flowing endlessly with varying intensity, offer a sense of "eternity" in these uncertain times. They also teach us the "strength" of living naturally. They are recommended not only as holiday gifts but also as talismans to navigate the new era.
