In the Japanese tea ceremony, there is a small pick knife used to eat wagashi sweets. This one, however, has been specially designed as jewelry.

The pick knife fixes the hand into a single form. The shape of the hand that holds it is beautiful.

A pick knife that makes the hand appear beautiful—therefore, this pick knife is jewelry.
