Masaaki Takahashi
YoseMono Artist, Jewelry Designer, Architect
Apprenticed under the renowned Scandinavian master, Juha Leiviskä in Finland, Takahashi had a successful career as an architect. He later assumed leadership of his family’s jewelry business and has become well-known as a designer for celebrities, receiving numerous awards for his creations.
Takahashi is the master craftsman of “YoseMono” art form and is one of very few who can create tiaras with this highly-skilled and precise technique. In 2013, his collections of YoseMono jewelry were recognized as The Traditional Crafts by Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

His designs using the versatile YoseMono Art technique result in a limitless variety of expressions from jewelry to home accessories and interior design.
Features
Why Our YoseMono Art Jewelry is So Special
Brilliant
Hand made. Every Stone. One by one.
The maxium brilliance is attained by connecting and mounting each stone one by one by hand with Takahashi's special master technique. The resutls are so delicate and feather light to set apart from conventional or high-volume casted jewelries.
Artistic
Turn Each Unique Story into Sparkle
Scenery, feelings and the sense of destiny are interepreted by Takahashi into jewelry with architectural balance and artistic precision.
Legacy
Family Secret
YoseMono is a traditional art that is not taught in schools, but only transfered from a parent to a child. Time consuming, arduous and challenging, there are not many YoseMono jewelers today. Takahashi is only one of a handful artists who can produce a 3-D structure, such as tiara.
