Jewel Colors Series

SAKURA COLLECTION


The Jewel Colors Series of jewel-inspired colors is launched to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Sakura model. The beauty and fragility of cherry blossoms are expressed in beautiful limited edition colors.

Sakura 10th Anniversary


The Sakura model was born in 2014 and has continued to evolve since then. With the desire to create an instrument with a more Japanese flavor using the quintesential Japanese symbol, the cherry blossom, we have made various efforts, including designs based on the concept of the four seasons and models that incorporate the regional color of the cherry tree’s place of origin. In 2024, the 10th anniversary of the creation of our first Sakura model, we will release new Sakura models with the motif of the Crane, a symbol of prosperity in Japanese culture.
