The concept of the Kyosho, or “master of art,” is what shapes this series of limited-edition spectacles, a homage to the many achievements of Japan’s influential artists, those with a unique proclivity for embracing the country’s dual traditions of craftsmanship and innovation. Each eyewear style highlights an individual whose tremendous talents and efforts have meaningfully elevated global culture.

Here, our subject of focus is Shūji Terayama (1935–1983), an avant-garde poet, artist, film director, dramatist, and photographer widely considered one of the most innovative, prolific, and influential creative artists to emerge from post-WWII Japan.

Limited-edition spectacles are received in a custom monograph box in our signature burgundy Bordeaux Empire color and includes our signature soft but structured Circa Envelope eyewear case, two commemorative double-sided microfiber cleaning clothes featuring exclusive Shuji Terayama-related artworks, and an Authenticity Card featuring collection literature and handwritten limited-edition serial number on traditional, archival-quality Echizen washi.

Uncompromising Craftsmanship

At Jacques Marie Mage, craftsmanship is the very foundation of our creative ethos. Our eyewear is handcrafted in small batches by master artisans who blend generational expertise with leading-edge techniques. Shaped through hundreds of meticulous steps, each frame is a testament to design and discipline. Every detail—laminated colorways, custom wirecores, hand-polished finishes—reflects an enduring commitment to quality and care. In honoring craft, we resist disposability and redefine luxury as something deeply human, a tactile expression of history, heritage, and the belief that what is made with meaning should last for generations.

Honoring Heritage

Luxury isn’t about burning the bridges of the past for the skyscrapers of the future. Rather, it involves the delicate threading of history into unique goods made with superior materials and a studious attention to craft; it’s about believing and investing in artisanal processes and developing goods—and stories—that last. For us, heritage is not a relic, but a living, breathing framework for creation. To this end, we combine reverence for the past with a commitment to aesthetic innovation, producing small-batch goods that both honor and evolve the traditions that shaped them.
