When it comes to luxury eyewear, few brands carry the rich heritage and uncompromising quality of Kame ManNen. Established in 1917 in Fukui, Japan, Kame ManNen is proudly recognized as one of Japan’s oldest and most respected optical brands. If you are tired of the same fast-fashion designs and are looking for true artisanal quality, we are thrilled to bring this extraordinary collection to Moon & Co Eyewear.
The Philosophy: “Turtles Live for Ten Thousand Years”
The unique name “Kame ManNen” is derived from a traditional Japanese proverb: “A crane lives a thousand years, a turtle ten thousand years.” This proverb symbolizes longevity, endurance, and timelessness. The founder, Kikujiro Kimura, deliberately chose this name to reflect his ultimate aspiration: to craft exquisite, highly durable eyewear that transcends fleeting fashion trends and can be cherished for a lifetime.
The Pioneers of Titanium Eyewear
Kame ManNen isn’t just famous for its historic roots; the brand is a true pioneer in optical innovation. In 1981, they made history by becoming the first brand in the world to successfully manufacture titanium eyewear.
Known for being incredibly lightweight, exceptionally strong, and hypoallergenic, titanium remains the gold standard for premium optical frames. By combining top-tier, nickel-free Japanese titanium with rich acetates and meticulous plating, Kame ManNen produces frames that are as structurally superior as they are aesthetically beautiful.
