What Bekkou-ya Tagawa is known for
Founded in 1944, this third-generation Nagasaki workshop hand-carves bekko (tortoiseshell) into necklaces, brooches, kanzashi pins and eyeglass frames. Pieces are sold at the Imahakata-machi shop and through the studio's online store, where the artisans also take in older tortoiseshell for repair and polishing.
