A Story of Collaboration The Perfect Balance of Cutting Edge technology and Traditional Handcraft Artistry
This cue begins in Gunma Prefecture, in the heart of the Japanese countryside where Miki Co., Ltd resides. Kazunori Miki, the founder of Exceed and Kirikane master Maya Matsuhisa came together for this ultimate collaboration.
With his inquisitiveness and love for art and design, Miki developed the “Miyabi” to perfectly complement the unique and ancient art form of Kirikane.
A traditional art form with only a few masters left, Matsuhisa took this opportunity to take the Kirikane art style and push it forward into the future. With pure passion and craftsmanship, she took on the unknown world of cue making to complete the design of this piece.
Pure synchronicity between the world's most advanced cues and a 7th century decorative art form, Exceed and Kirikane have come together to produce the best that Japan has to offer.
Kirikane
An art form that takes layers of gold and platinum leaf which are placed on top of each other and baked into a sheet that is cut into intricate designs. It was said to have been brought to Japan in the 7th century as a part of Buddhist Art. To be a Kirikane craftsman, one must have the most patience and precision to execute these complex designs. The design in the “Miyabi” is a rare and unique display of the sheer skill of the Kirikane masters due to the fact that Kirikane is not made utilising a template. Creating multiple models with identical designs shows the remarkable dexterity of the Kirikane master.
Nishijin-ori Carbon Butt cap and Joint collar
To further the dedication to traditional Japanese art and design, the “Miyabi” joint collar and butt cap have both been made with carbon fiber woven in the traditional Japanese “Nishijin-ori” style in the “Chuyashamon” pattern. Dating as far back as 794, the “Nishijin-ori” pattern was originally for the imperial court and the aristocracy of Japan.
Joint Protector
Coated with a three coloured almite finish and carved from the highest quality aluminum, your “Miyabi” is protected by joint protectors strikingly embossed with the opulent logo.
