Brooch KAVERS KVR_021 Yabane (Norit japon)

[Collaboration that shines a new light on Kaba-zaiku]

By combining long tradition with a new technology for creating elaborate design patterns, KAVERS will transform Kaba-zaiku into an artistic product that matches modern tastes and contemporary life styles. With the development of a new technology for processing wild cherry bark, we succeeded in creating unprecedented, delicate design patterns. We collaborate with various art products, so that tradition comes to life in diverse, contemporary settings, broadening the possibilities of the "Kaba-zaiku" tradition.
 
This Yabane-monyo pattern means “Leap”.
