Now that mass production and mass consumption have become the norm, we at Amakuni are returning to primitive manufacturing.
Primitive
manufacturing
The ring grows in depth along with the couple's life.
The ring is completed by hammering a block of metal, stretching it, heating it, and cooling it repeatedly. The two people build a relationship through conflicts and changes. The scratches and distortions that accumulate over the years give the ring depth. The ring also grows into a shape that is unique to the two of them.
If you think about it, making a ring isn't that difficult. At Amakuni, we have a plan where couples can make their own rings. If you make it with your own hands, it will definitely become a treasure, and the process of making it will be an irreplaceable memory for the two of you.
Please feel free to contact us.
Even though it is rugged,
I like things that convey my feelings

Knowing what is enough,
Being yourself
"Less is more," said Mies van der Rohe. There is a Zen proverb that goes, "I am content just being myself." I feel a deep connection with these two words. "Less is more" and "I am content just being myself." There is a difference in nuance, but I think the gist is the same. I think people and things that have been stripped of all unnecessary things and shine from within are cool. It is not easy to simplify something. Simplicity is the result of a huge amount of waste and trial and error. I myself have wasted a lot of things to get to where I am today, and I have hurt many people and wasted things up until now. It is not things that fill the human heart, but being true to oneself. I think that when people are filled with happiness and can be true to themselves, they feel happy. I began to think that I wanted to create tools that would bring about such awareness.
Information
Artwork
When I choose something, I think first of all about whether I can love it for a long time. It is also important to be able to enjoy the changes that occur. An object that takes on a personal color through use becomes an irreplaceable treasure. I don't need an object that loses its value the moment I get it. I want to choose an object that has unchanging value, no matter how much the times change.
I also hope that my work will be loved by people for a long time.
The ring is responsible for the prosperity of humanity
We believe that wedding rings are unique among the many tools created by mankind, and are an instrument that contributes to the prosperity of humanity.
Amakuni does not just make rings.
We create rings that will inspire you to reexamine what is truly important.
I am looking forward to meeting more couples.
