- THE KIDS WERE ALRIGHT -

Reminiscence: Unleash Your Inner Child

The things we treasure from the good old times and the desire to be like those we admire.

The excitement of being passionately crazy about something we love, fully believing in what mattered most.

That pure “childhood” spirit—we all once experienced and still carry within—is the essence that KOTARO YAMADA captures in his work. His playful yet refined aesthetic found new depth upon discovering JUSTIN DAVIS’ jewelry, which became a significant source of inspiration in his journey to becoming a sculptor.

This collection is a heartfelt tribute to his dear friend, the late Justin Davis, who not only recognized but continuously support his art. This also marks Kotaro’s first collection under the JUSTIN DAVIS name.
