When
my
fiancé
and
I
got
engaged
(we're
from
Los
Angeles!)
we
knew
we
wanted
handcrafted
rings
made
in
Japan,
but
weren't
sure
exactly
where
we
wanted
to
go.
After
doing
some
research
in
the
cities
we
would
be
visiting,
I
saw
an
interview
from
"Tatemachi
Kanazawa"
that
made
me
super
interested
in
SUNDANCE.
The
interview
focused
on
Oshimizu-san,
the
craftsman.
From
his
words,
I
knew
he
could
be
a
really
special
person
to
make
our
rings.
I
reached
out
via
Instagram
to
make
an
appointment
given
COVID
restrictions
are
still
heavily
in
place
in
Japan.
He
was
able
to
accommodate
our
time
with
no
issue!
When
we
arrived,
Oshimizu-san
was
so
extremely
warm.
I
knew
we
made
the
right
choice
immediately.
He
had
let
us
know
he
would
only
be
able
to
communicate
via
a
translation
app,
which
was
no
problem
for
us
at
all.
I
know
he
really
wanted
to
be
able
to
speak
English
to
us,
and
I
was
also
annoyed
at
myself
for
not
learning
Japanese
to
communicate
with
him!
We
had
no
idea
what
we
wanted,
and
he
was
able
to
walk
us
through
all
the
different
customization
options.
There
were
a
ton
of
options
in
terms
of
different
metals,
designs,
stones,
width;
essentially
you
can
come
with
something
in
mind,
or
customize
from
scratch
like
we
did.
I
think
what
was
most
special
were
the
meanings
behind
certain
styles
that
he
was
kind
enough
to
share
with
us.
He
let
us
know
he
has
been
in
this
profession
for
decades,
and
his
professionalism
really
comes
through
while
still
being
very
personable
and
warm.
Overall,
Oshimizu-san
is
the
perfect
person
to
make
your
rings.
I
can't
recommend
him
enough.
He
is
prompt
in
replying,
super
patient,
and
kept
me
informed
of
when
he
was
shipping
the
rings
(as
well
as
all
the
tracking
information).
When
the
rings
arrived,
they
were
in
perfect
condition.
He
also
included
a
handwritten
note
that
I'll
cherish
and
include
in
wedding
photos!
Thanks
so
much,
SUNDANCE
for
making
our
wedding
story
even
more
special
with
a
piece
of
your
work.
