Amaterasu
from NewYork
CEO and Founder of the brand, Amaterasu, Makiko Niimura began her career as a film producer. 
As she travelled around the world, interacting with creative individuals, 
she realized they all shared a fascination for Japanese aesthetics. 
At the same time, Niimura was intrigued by the limited exposure these beautiful designs 
had to Western cultures, and hence her vision was born.

Introducing a lifestyle company based on ancient Japanese principles, techniques, and 
aesthetics for the 21st century. We are inspired by the deep unconscious desire to share and 
experience ancient universal values.
We pursue creation by which surprise, discovery, humor, and healing are felt in daily life.

Rings are $38, skull bangles are $78 for each and also many other accessories are available.
