When it comes to hand made optical frames, there are not a few capable of supreme quality while being regarded as national living treasure in Japan.
It requires a few decades of hand made experience to achieve such esteemed honour.
Such living master craftsman would have already started as a celluloid craftsman apprentice after graduting from Junior high school back in the early fifties to sixties.
Mr. Ohira Masayoshi has close to 60 years of producing celluloid and acetate hand made frames in Japan. He is in his seventies but remain energectic and active, and is as stubborn as ever in persuing perfection for all his works.
Our OEM clients have absolutely gratifying compliments on his works it will always be our pleasure to produce your styles for your judgement.
Masayoshi saku, the series of spectacular hand made frames produced by Mr. Ohira masayoshi, was extremely famous and popular. It is being considered as one of the best hand made optical frames ever from Sabae, Fukui, Japan.
He is overwhelmingly famous in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong and beyond with plenty of articles honouring him as national treasure of Japan in the hand made spectacle frames industry.
Back in 2008, It was wrongly reported in the media that Mr. Ohira Masayoshi had officially retired, for reasons that Mr. Ohira Masayoshi will be just too happy to rantle on when you meet him in person here in Sabae, Japan.
Masayoshi saku series of frames stopped production in 2008 and we have since focus on the OEM for clients. There had been resourceful customers from Taiwan, Australia, Germany and Hong Kong tracking him all the way to Sabae reqesting him to revive his brand which he has all turned down.
However, due to the persistence of a client, we finally decided to revise the brand by end of 2016 with 8 styles of celluloid/titanium combi and pure celluloid series.
It is heartening to know that his son has inherited his passion, skill and serious approach to produce perfect eyewear. Both work together closely to carry on the family legacy.
Every piece of work by Mr. Masayoshi is an art collection. His life is fully dedicated to preserve the traditional way of Japanese hand made production method that is still being practiced by him.
