At Romanian Jewelry Week 2025, Manami Aoki won the Grand Award for her Hair of the Wood collection. The Japanese artist captures the essence of transformation through her subtle dialogue with wood. Her signature series, Hair of the Wood, turns hinoki — a symbol of strength and endurance — into something fragile, intimate, and profoundly human.
