Edo Bekkō Tanaka 田中べっ甲

Tortoiseshell (bekkō) worked here for over 100 years: a 2-hour guided experience, from 10,000 yen.

The shop has worked bekkō, the shell of the hawksbill turtle (taimai), now a species protected by the Washington Convention (CITES), for over a hundred years, for spectacles and accessories; the official website has a page devoted specifically to the relationship between bekkō and the international convention that regulates its trade. It is now in its third generation: master Tanaka has been making tortoiseshell frames for over forty years, since he was eighteen.
