KIO YAMATO Hane Collection, Japanes

Burgundy, Cognac, Tobacco: Autumn's Frame Colors The Season Changes Color Before It Changes Temperature Autumn arrives in the eyewear case earlier than it arrives outdoors. By mid-September, the frames moving off the tray have already shifted — away from clear, away from cool grey, toward something with wine in it. This year the movement is unusually coherent. Burgundy leads. Cognac and amber follow.

The Next Move is KIO YAMATO’s campaign about devotion, competition and learning from failure. Through chess imagery, it explores how the decisions we make after a setback can shape our character. It brings that human experience into conversation with our approach to Japanese eyewear craftsmanship: observe closely, refine carefully and keep learning.
