About Minamoto Eyewear
Rooted in centuries of Japanese craftsmanship, Minamoto Eyewear embodies the essence of tradition, precision, and artistry. The name Minamoto, meaning "origin" in Japanese, reflects the brand’s dedication to honoring its heritage while creating eyewear that is both timeless and innovative.
Minamoto frames are a tribute to the ancient techniques of Japanese artisans, blended with the cutting-edge technology of today. Each piece is meticulously crafted from pure Japanese titanium, celebrated for its lightness, strength, and durability. This exceptional material is sourced and processed entirely in Japan, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity.
Drawing inspiration from Japan’s rich cultural traditions, Minamoto designs reflect the country’s reverence for simplicity and harmony. The frames feature clean lines, subtle details, and a quiet elegance that resonates with wearers seeking refined, understated style.
Their passion for original things doesn‘t end with their eyewear. It also manifests itself in the case, which is crafted from handmade washi paper.
Their team members spent many months searching for the right manufacturer for to cases – and discovered a family business dedicated to the craft of washi paper making.
Philosophy of Minimalism
In true Japanese fashion, Minamoto embraces the philosophy of "less is more". This minimalist approach ensures that the frames are not just accessories but meaningful expressions of individuality. With designs that transcend trends, Minamoto Eyewear offers a timeless elegance that appeals to those who value quality and authenticity over fleeting fashion.
