Masahiro Maruyama is a Japanese handmade eyewear brand known for its artistic, asymmetrical designs that embrace the concept of "unfinished art". The frames are meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in Sabae City, Japan, an area with a century-old history of eyewear manufacturing. 

Design Philosophy

The brand's core design philosophy revolves around challenging conventional symmetry in eyewear. Key aspects include: 

• Asymmetry: Designs feature intentional imbalances where the right and left sides may look different, making each piece unique.

• "Unfinished Art": The designs often incorporate elements that look like sketches or unrefined art, using strong lines and unique layering of materials.

• Traditional Craftsmanship: Despite the modern, artistic designs, the production relies on traditional techniques and skilled craftsmen, rather than purely computerized methods, to ensure high quality and a comfortable fit.
