[About Toshikane] Founded in the early Showa era in Arita, Saga Prefecture, this is a phantom porcelain jewelry brand that applied Arita-yaki techniques. The brand name is derived from the names of the founders, "Toshikazu Kojima" and "Kanezo Minami." Starting with obi fasteners, the brand gained popularity in the West after the war due to its elaborate techniques and oriental designs. However, it disappeared due to changes in economic conditions, and is now a rare item traded at high prices among overseas collectors. #AritaYaki #Toshikane #Ceramics #Pottery #ObiFastener #ObiStop -546-
