About

Gleichenia is a Tokyo-based contemporary jewelry unit formed by Kanako Ikegaya, who studied sculpture in the UK, and Yu Ikegaya, who studied spatial design.
The name “Gleichenia” comes from the scientific name of the fern Urajiro, traditionally regarded as a symbol of good fortune in Japan.
We see the paired leaves of the fern as a sign of overlapping perspectives between art and design.
Like spores taking root in new ground, we aim to create expressions that resonate with ways of being beyond origins and fixed values.
