—Brand History—
TAUJAN Theme: "Pulse" (Myaku)

A ring is something that gets in the way when you use your hands... which is why it only has meaning if it acts as a "plus alpha" presence.

How can I eliminate that "discomfort of it being in the way"?
I create with the question of how to make it become one with the hand in mind.
How can I express "warmth" through cold metallic materials?

This applies to design, as it does to human relationships.
By creating things, something is connected...
The connections between people are also a "pulse."

—The Meaning of Taujan—
Based on the Hiroshima dialect phrase "tau-jan," meaning "it is within reach."
It includes the wish of wanting to "grasp one's dreams"—if you keep moving toward them, you will be able to catch them.
