Last weekend, Salon de Shimaji held a pattern order event for the eyewear brand Nakky Made.


Many customers came to meet designers Naoki and Tomoko Nakagawa, making for two very busy days.

Professor Shimaji was also captivated by its charm, and it has become a cherished part of his eyeglasses collection.


Shimaji : "Thank you so much for coming all the way from Kobe. I'm wearing the glasses you made for me to order some time ago!"

That's right! When Nakky-san came last time, she even had a pair of "Shimaji Model" glasses made for us. The temple tips have a skull motif, which is a design that's so typical of Shimaji-sensei.
Shimaji : "Glasses are a weapon that can make even the dumbest face look a little smarter! In life, there are fateful encounters not only with people but also with things. The important things in life are 'luck, connections, and good taste'."

The next Nakky Made pattern order event is scheduled for October. It's still a little while away, but if you'd like to have glasses made that match Ms. Shimaji's, please come along!
