Balanced spectacles handcrafted in Japan with grace and gravitas, these limited-edition spectacles are inspired by Tatsuhiko Shibusawa (1928-1987), a novelist, art critic, and translator who became a leader in midcentury Japan’s avant-garde. Enthusiastically embracing the surrealist movement, Shibusawa introduced French writers to a Japanese audience through his translations of luminaries such as André Breton and Jean Cocteau, producing an influential body of essays, literary criticism, and original works that informed and influenced the flourishing literary culture of post-WWII Japan.

Limited-edition glasses are received in a silk-wrapped monograph box set in our signature Bordeaux Empire color, and includes a custom leather eyewear case handcrafted in Italy, an oversized microfiber cleaning cloth, and letterpress authenticity card with craftsmen’s signatures and hand-written serial number.

Clean your glasses daily using a non-alcohol based lens cleaning spray and the provided microfiber cleaning cloth. Avoid using water or soap to clean your frames, as this may cause oxidation of the wirecore and hinges. To extend the product's lifespan, keep eyewear out of extreme heat to avoid risk of distortion, and always protect your glasses by storing in the provided JMM eyewear case.

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.
