A Fusion of Artistic Vision and Technical Precision
The Birth of JANUKA
JANUKA, a Japanese jewelry brand, was founded by Jo Nakamura in 2012. With a strong foundation in Industrial Design, Nakamura's academic background at the Pratt Institute and Design Academy Eindhoven equipped him with the skills to blend artistic vision with technical precision. His journey began with designing lapel pins for the G7 Ise-Shima Summit, a project that catapulted JANUKA into the spotlight.
JANUKA, A Global Brand
With a Local Heart
Since its inception, JANUKA has experienced significant growth, both domestically and internationally. The brand has established itself as a leader in the jewelry industry, collaborating with renowned partners and opening a flagship store in Tokyo. Despite its global reach, JANUKA remains deeply rooted in its Japanese heritage, incorporating traditional elements and craftsmanship into its designs.
Challenging Conventions
Creating Timeless Pieces
JANUKA's philosophy is centered around innovation and subtle distinction. The brand challenges conventional techniques and norms in the jewelry industry, aiming to create pieces that are "slightly out of the paragon." By intentionally deviating from traditional viewpoints on materials and techniques, JANUKA forges new, universal designs that are both forward-thinking and timeless.
"Our aim is to create jewelry that is completed when it is put on your skin."
