The kanji characters for the word tanabiku denote the passage of trailing clouds or mist against a mountain backdrop. They were once also used to mean “glasses.” Eyeglass manufacturing is an area of technology in which Japan excels, and the city of Sabae in Fukui Prefecture is particularly renowned for the level of its craftsmanship, attracting the keen attention of luxury fashion houses in Paris and Florence. Our dream is to become the wellspring and pinnacle of Japanese eyeglass manufacturing, to go beyond fashion and embody the very aesthetics of craftsmanship itself. Combining the meticulous handiwork of peerless artisans with designs that radiate the essence of Japan, our TANABIKU glasses bring Japanese beauty to the world, carrying it into the future.
