Scheggia di roccia is an Italian phrase which means “pieces of rock”, and the art work was created
by Yurina Kira, a fine art and jewelry artist. We encountered the wall art, which is the original
Scheddia di roccia work, around the time when Ms. Kira returned to Japan after working as an artist
in Italy. We immediately contacted her and told her that we would like to turn her art work into a
product. After a few sessions of drinking together we had a better understanding of the roots of
her intriguing art work in which her strong passion, acquired in Italy, and a delicate sensibility as
a Japanese person coexist. While featuring Latin influences and the academism from European
countries, such as Italy and Switzerland, where sensibilities are believed in, Ms. Kira has a delicate
sensibility as Japanese without losing her identity as Japanese and skillfully created art work with
the sensibility of a Japanese person. Ms. Kira’s art work incorporates both geometric and artificial
abstractness which looks as if a landscape has been cut from nature. Turning art work with such
abstract beauty into a product vividly exists as a new venture.We think turning a piece created as an
art into a product is a wonderful thing because we can provide Ms. Kira’s aesthetic sense to many
people.
