Garden quartz is a transparent quartz crystal that contains minerals such as chlorite, making it look as if a landscape painting has been trapped inside the crystal. The inclusions create patterns reminiscent of green moss and ferns, as well as the outlines of mountains and clouds, making it look like a small garden has been trapped inside.

After working as an assistant of prop and decorations for commercial films, Canna Oshiro studied under Yukio Shimizu who is the first class gem polisher/cutter, and creates loose by the traditional technique of “tesuri” being inherited in Kofu district.
Concentrating on to expressing dynamics and randomness of the work by human hand, facet produced by the unique rhymes educes natural taste of gem which is different from the one from the conventional stylized cut.
