MASUNAGA

Masunaga glasses come from Fukui, Japan: the company was founded on 1 June 1905 by Gozaemon Masunaga, who brought craftsmen from Osaka to establish frame making in the region. The main factory has been in Fukui since 1955 and works with an integrated production cycle.

A few milestones: in 1933 the Emperor, visiting Fukui, was presented with three Masunaga frames; in 2000 Masunaga became the first Japanese company to win the Silmo d'Or for sunglasses; in 2015 the GMS-106 won the Silmo d'Or in the optical frames category.

At OCCHIO! the selection is optical. From the Masunaga line we carry the GMS-106 in three colours, GMS-116, GMS-117, GMS-123, GMS-124, GMS-804, GMS-825 and GMS-833, alongside One Hundred, Fuller, Lex, Urbanite and Rhapsody, and the KK-000 with clip-on, KK-050, KK-065, KK-087 and KK-089.

Then there is Masunaga designed by Kenzo Takada, the line launched in Paris in 2014 that brings ma, the Japanese aesthetic principle of space and interval, into the frame, with sculpted detailing on the tips and decorative parts: Altair, Aster, Caph, Hadar, Lepus, Mimosa and Orchid.

Masunaga glasses are available online and in the OCCHIO! boutique in Crema.
