Sabae Eyewear
The glasses you are wearing might have been born in Fukui. This is Sabae City, one of the world's three major eyewear production regions. Its history dates back to 1905 (Meiji 38). Eyewear manufacturing began as a side job during the agricultural off-season in the heavy snowy winters. Eventually, artisans divided tasks by parts, and the entire town developed like one large factory. Today, more than 90% of eyewear frames produced in Japan are from Fukui Prefecture, and its technology for lightweight and durable titanium processing is recognized worldwide. From a farmer's side job to a world-renowned mecca. By experiencing this journey at the Megane (Eyewear) Museum, you will surely feel a deeper affection for your everyday pair of glasses.
