The brooch is inspired by the silhouette of negative space found within hiragana characters, which have been refined in a modern way and cut from a single copper plate. If you examine the brooch closely, you'll notice that a single character emerges from its silhouette, adding to the enjoyment of discovery. The curves and straight lines of the shape are unique to the Japanese alphabet, and allow us to rediscover the diversity and charm of characters. The brooch's simple form makes it perfect for a variety of occasions, and it's an ideal gift or personal reward for anyone with an interest in typography or design.
