Sterling silver pendant necklace 'Human Automobile'

Born in Japan in 1948, this master silversmith has dedicated over four decades to transforming silver into sculptural expressions of identity and nature. His artistic journey began in childhood with painting and wood sculpture before leading him to Mexico, where he studied at the National Autonomous University and the National School of Fine Arts. Enchanted by Mexico’s landscapes and traditions, he fused Japanese discipline with Mexican symbolism, creating a unique artistic language in silver. His collections range from jewelry to functional objects, often accented with turquoise, opal, or jade. Inspired by flora, fauna, and cultural celebrations, his work reflects both beauty and preservation. He has exhibited widely, served as a judge at Taxco’s International Silver Fair, and even crafted a monumental silver Buddha that took three years to complete. Today, his jewelry carries the dual heritage of Japan and Mexico, celebrating nature while honoring ancestral silver traditions.

Handcrafted in sterling silver, this necklace measures 17.8 inches L with a 1 mm W omega chain. The pendant measures 1.1 inches L x 1.3 inches W x 0.2 inches D and weighs 0.35 oz. It features a combination finish, a lobster claw clasp, and is marked with the artist's initials or trademark.
