Story of Tsukuyomi
Tsukuyomi no Mikoto
Tsukuyomi no Mikoto is a deity who appeared when Izanagi no Mikoto rinsed his right eye to wash away the impurities upon his return from the Land of Hades. It is said that Amaterasu Omikami appeared from his left eye and Susanoo no Mikoto from his nose.
These three gods are considered to be exceptionally noble and are called the "三貴子 Three noble children" (it called “Mihashira no Uzunomiko or “Sankishi”).
Tsukuyomi is written as "月を読む reading the moon", and is said to represent and preside over the moon's age and calendar. Tsukuyomi is a very important deity for the Japanese, who are agricultural people, because they used to use a lunar calendar to read the lunar calendar according to the phases of the moon.
Also, it is very important for the fishing industry, which needs to read tidal changes caused by the waxing and waning of the moon.
Tsukuyomi no Mikoto has been a deity closely associated with Japanese culture and civilization since ancient times.
Tsukuyomi is also written as "月夜見 Watching the moon in the night", and is thought to be a deity who deified the moon and ruled the land of night.

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.
