Satokomatsu is a one-woman jewelry brand based in the Bronx. I create handmade pieces that turn language—especially Japanese Hiragana—into wearable art. Inspired by my upbringing in Osaka with an English teacher father and calligraphy teacher mother, I blend language, culture, and craftsmanship to spark connection. Every design is hand-cut from metal and rooted in the belief that jewelry can connect people.
JOGI NO YUME is our dream, our dream to bring affordable, high quality, cuteness overloaded jewelry to people who fond of them as much as we do!
Gothic Botany is the art world of SwissArmyArtist — a darkly botanical universe where original creations and reimagined fan art grow side by side.
Here, I blend flora, shadow, and storytelling to create pieces inspired by my favorite TV shows, video games, and animes, all filtered through the moody, plant-driven aesthetic Gothic Botany is known for. From character studies tangled in vines to creatures blooming out of decay, every artwork embodies that signature mix of softness, grit, and transformation.
Gothic Botany is where my imagination takes root — a garden of original art, spooky botanicals, and fandom love, all crafted by hand.

Humans are the only animals that laugh – Aristotle
Smile is an expression that gives relief and happiness, and it’s like a magic which is even stronger than words. Also, it has been proven that smiling brings various positive effects.
In recent years, it has been confirmed that primates also smile/laugh.
“Grimace” (showing bared-teeth with pulling their lips back) is considered as an origin of human’s smile.
Weaker apes show grimace to stronger apes to show obedience, that is now changed to friendship in human society.
My products are based on the concept of smile/laugh, which is very important to enrich our lives. I am hoping that you will find your own smiling peace from my products 🙂
