NOCHINO OPTICAL

Not a full moon, but the moon just before it becomes full. The Japanese heart that cherishes the moon just before it reaches its fullness. The beauty of incompleteness, the beauty of imperfection, the beauty of empty space. The thirteenth moon, the later moon. We believe that it is through incompleteness that things that cannot be expressed by perfection or satisfaction emerge. By making incompleteness beautiful, we make people feel the beauty of satisfaction. Glasses, like the thirteenth moon or the later moon, are incomplete at the moment they leave the craftsman's hands. We offer our products as the thirteenth moon. In the Heian period, when The Tale of Genji was born, it was a pastime for nobles to keenly feel the seasons and wear colors that "suited the season" and incorporate them into their daily lives. Enjoying the pastime of wearing colors that suit the season in modern times, they are completed when they perfectly match with their individual owners.
