Combining VARTIX’s craftsmanship with GACKT’s artistic sensibility and worldview, this collaboration delivers a new product born from uncompromising craftsmanship.
I am honored to be appointed as VARTIX’s Executive Designer.
Over the past 30 years, as an artist and performer active both in Japan and internationally, I have continuously pursued one fundamental question:
What is the essential value that transcends time and trends?
VARTIX’s philosophy of 'tradition and innovation' deeply resonates with the values I have cherished throughout my career.
Respecting inherited techniques and philosophies while fusing them with contemporary sensibilities to create new value—I was strongly drawn to this vision, and I am now joining the brand in the role of Executive Designer.
My goal is not merely to create objects.
I aim to create pieces that reflect the wearer’s values, lifestyle, and aesthetic. Items that deliver an instant sense of exhilaration upon first touch, yet remain a source of pride to wear for decades. To achieve this, I am rigorously addressing every detail—from materials and form to functionality and fine expression—without compromise.
Together with VARTIX, I will challenge conventional norms in design and deliver truly valuable products to the world.
['Only what holds genuine value endures across generations.']
With this belief, I will continue this new journey with VARTIX.

This innovative movable structure is patent-protected. Crafted through advanced artisan techniques and precise engineering, this technology seamlessly blends beauty and comfort at a high level.
Born from Kyoto’s craftsmanship ethos, this is a new jewelry where tradition meets innovation—offering a never-before-seen luxury experience through the interplay of diamond brilliance and free movement.
