Story of Ōkuninushi
Ōkuninushi is a beloved deity in Japanese mythology, known for his kindness, growth, and the power of connection.
One of the most famous stories from his youth tells how he rescued the White Hare of Inaba by using correct medical knowledge. This episode portrays him as a gentle and compassionate young man.
After enduring many difficult trials set by his father-in-law, Susanoo no Mikoto, he was finally recognized for his strength of character and was given the divine name "Ōkuninushi no Kami".
Later, Ōkuninushi traveled throughout the land together with Sukunabikona and many other deities. As they journeyed, they shared knowledge of agriculture, medicine, and craftsmanship, transforming the land into a fertile and prosperous country known as Toyoa shihara no Mizuho no Kuni, an ancient name for Japan.
After peacefully offering the land to Amaterasu Ōmikami, the sun goddess, Ōkuninushi was entrusted with governing the unseen, spiritual world. Through his sacred power of "musubi", the ability to bind people, relationships, and destinies together, he is believed to guide people toward happiness.
For this reason, he is widely worshipped as a god of good relationships, harmony, and prosperity.
The grand shrine built in his honor, "出雲大社 Izumo Taisha", remains famous today as the place where the gods of Japan are said to gather every October.

Gem stones
Natural Gemstones
Like hand carving, the use of natural gemstones expresses the beauty found in imperfection.
In Japan’s ancient nature-based beliefs, including Shinto traditions, stones and sacred rocks have long been objects of reverence. This sense of respect toward natural stones is also reflected in our creations as part of Japanese cultural heritage.
TEGAMI Products
Jewelry that brings a sense of Japanese aesthetics into modern style.
To preserve the warmth and texture of handcraftsmanship, each jewelry master model is carved by hand.
In traditional Japanese ceramics and tea ware, subtle irregularities and natural variations are often regarded as beauty itself. Rather than distant perfection, we value the sense of warmth and familiarity found in imperfection.
We deeply value this aesthetic philosophy that has long been cherished in Japan.
