Masunaga Glasses

Founded in 1905 by Gozaemon Masunaga in Fukui, Japan, Masunaga is one of the pioneers of Japanese eyewear. More than just a manufacturer, it is a veritable institution that has helped establish the eyewear craft in the region. From the outset, the company's objective was clear: to produce impeccable eyewear, capable of combining comfort, aesthetics and durability.

What sets Masunaga apart from other brands is the extreme mastery of every stage of production, carried out entirely in-house. Unlike industrial production, where tasks are fragmented, Masunaga controls everything from the creation of prototypes to final polishing, guaranteeing an exceptional level of quality. The craftsmen, often trained for several years, perpetuate know-how handed down from generation to generation.

Masunaga women's eyewear reflects the finesse and grace of Japanese aesthetics. Shapes are worked to flatter facial features, colors range from classic deep black to elegant translucent shades, and glossy or satin finishes are achieved by meticulous hand polishing.
Masunaga men's eyewear expresses strength and sobriety. Their lines are clean, sometimes angular, but always balanced. The sturdiness of pure titanium, combined with the precision of assembly, makes these eyeglasses as solid as they are elegant.
