This "KUMADORI" designed to the concept Mai and the method of making up kabuki which are tradition of Japan.
"Presence", "forcibleness", and "beauty" when seeing "KUMADORI" could be felt, and the design which feels further the "newness" which is not until now was imagined.
These days whose man of a rich expression has been decreasing.
It equips with this "KUMADORI", and a red part is held, and I turn the lens portion rotated 360 degrees round and round, and want you to enjoy this eye wear with the expression which forgets to be new.
 
 
The material of a frame is soft "Gum metal" gentle to a human body at high intensity.
The hinge is very light and a tough beta titanium alloy and a feather beta are used.
The red part supporting a lens is silicone resin.
Since it fits firmly in a sides of the head parts, a green part uses a low rebounding material and VEF shape memory material.
