Outline
Yamanashiand Jewelry.
At first glance, this may seem like an unusual pairing.
High-quality quartz crystals were once mined in Yamanashi. There is a history of quartz crystals have been mined in Yamanashi since the Jomon period (approximately 5,000 to 3,000 years ago).
The industry evolved in the Edo period (1603-1868) with the introduction of polishing techniques from Kyoto. These techniques have been passed down over generations and are still in use today by the present-day jewelry industry.
Today, Yamanashi is one of the most unique places in the world for jewelry industry. It is the industrial cluster of specialized jewelry workshops and companies for the processing of gemstones,crystals, and precious metals, as well as for crystal art engraving.
This museum opened in 2013 to raise awareness about the high level of jewelry technology in the local Yamanashi industry.
This exhibition of the Jewelry Museum Collection focuses on the jewelry that express changing seasons from autumn to winter and the jewelry designs symbolize Yamanashi.
Please enjoy the delicate and beautiful jewelry from Yamanashi.
