  • Conversations Virtuoses

    Chaumet

    The encounter of Three Virtuosos, individuals celebrated not only in Japan but worldwide with Chaumet’s pre-eminent artisanship in high jewelry was held in Sankei-en, a scenic setting spanning about 175,000 square meters across three valleys along the Yokohama coast. The exhibition contained three chapters, all following the concept of “the work accomplished by human hand”. The first chapter highlights Chaumet’s flexibility and strength through a collaboration with a Bamboo Master Chikuunsai IV Tanabe; materialized by a monumental tailor-made art creation where the jewerly was nestled inside. The second chapter emphasises on Chaumet’s variety of cuts through 3D printed bonsai pieces along with bonsai trees grown and chosen by the Bonsai Master Masahiko Kimura. The last chapter was dedicated to Chaumet goldsmith virtuosity through a display of the most precious Chaumet pièces d’orfevrerie in an iron sand zen garden with Tamahagane, facing a curated katana selection by Sadanobu and Sadatoshi Gassan
