acoya

acoya is a brand that shares, through various initiatives, the akoya pearl oyster, which has a 1,300-year history in Omura Bay in Nagasaki, also known as the "Sea of the Koto."

The history of Japanese akoya pearls goes back to the Jomon period.

Pearls appear as "shiratama" in the Kojiki and the Man'yōshū, as a metaphor for something sacred or a beautiful person.

Since ancient times, people have seen their own souls in the beauty of pearls.
