emjmod

◆emjmod: A cymbal manufacturer based in Osaka. The creator is drummer and artist “Enmeiji a.k.a. emj.” From sourcing materials to hammering and lapping, each piece is meticulously crafted by emj himself, achieving a balance between original designs that evoke the textures of nature and “tones suitable for live performances.” Available at music stores in the U.S., Japan, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, and other countries, these cymbals are also favored by Japan’s top drummers and percussionists. ◆Ceal: An accessory brand inspired by the fragments created during the production and processing of handmade “emjmod” cymbals, breathing new life into them. Cymbals produce beautiful tones when struck, but they eventually crack. Ceal’s mission is to give new meaning to these fragments once they have fulfilled their role as musical instruments. By reusing the fragments and transforming them into forms different from their original purpose, these cymbals are imbued with new life, along with the stories embedded within them.
