A new series, “ELEMENT SERIES Ⅰ”, will appear at ISSEY MIYAKE EYES. Each element of this design has a different color, with clear areas in some parts to create a transparent look and unique accents. Various details are created with technology unique to Kaneko Optical, such as the front part that is made from two different color materials yet is still seamless, and the pure titanium template plates with an R shape that gently frames the face. The temple tips, which are rounded by a technique known as "shinomi-gaeshi", has a form inherited from the BONE SERIES. This is a design that enables the eyewear to be put on and removed smoothly, making the wearer appear elegant over the whole movement. This series is available as sunglasses and with blue light cut lenses.

It was released in the following stores on Thursday, November 30th, 2017.

The company’s headquarters is located in Sabae City in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, a region distinguished for its sophisticated eyewear production techniques at the highest level in the world. With its own factory BACKSTAGE and its chain of directly managed stores KANEKO GANKYO, the company gets involved in everything from the planning and designing to the production and sales of eyewear, while assuring quality of products. Its “CRAFTSMAN SERIES”, a collection of glasses each of which bears the name of an author-craftsperson, is receiving high acclaim as a work to pass down traditional eyewear techniques to the present day.
