Established in 2011 as a factory-direct custom jewelry brand, MITUBACI TOKYO has evolved since 2019 to focus exclusively on handmade jewelry workshops, where customers create their own meaningful pieces. Today, we proudly welcome not only domestic guests but also visitors from around the world seeking a unique jewelry-making experience in Japan.
Be Part of Launching Our New York Location
We are currently recruiting artisans and manager-track candidates who will play a key role in launching and managing our New York studio.
Training will take place at our Flagship Store in Sangenjaya, Tokyo, after which you will relocate to New York. In this role, you will:
・Provide hands-on jewelry-making support to customers
・Deliver exceptional customer experiences
・Build and manage a local team
・Contribute to workshop operations and brand growth
Together, we will build a new chapter of MITUBACI in New York.
Create Meaningful Experiences Through Handmade Jewelry
Many of our customers visit to create wedding rings, engagement rings, and couple rings to celebrate life’s most important milestones.
At MITUBACI TOKYO, we believe the time spent creating jewelry should be just as special as the finished piece itself. We warmly welcome each guest and cherish the shared experience of crafting meaningful jewelry together.
If you are passionate about craftsmanship, hospitality, and building something new, we welcome you to apply today.
Job Description

Message from the Company President
Takashi Fujimori
Fujimori Co., Ltd. – CEO | Jewelry Designer | Master of Project Design (MPD)
Born in Tokyo in 1976, the president's lifelong passion is budget travel around the world. With two round-the-world journeys, a trans-Asia expedition, a cycling trip across Eastern Europe, a summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, and visits to nearly 60 countries, these global experiences continue to inspire his creative vision.
The brand name MITUBACI comes from the Italian phrase “Mi Tu Baci,” meaning “Kiss me.” The name was conceived during his time studying in Italy about 20 years ago. It reflects the desire to create jewelry so lovable and meaningful that it makes you want to kiss it — jewelry that feels deeply personal and cherished.
At MITUBACI TOKYO, we offer a one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry experience where customers collaborate directly with skilled artisans to create their own pieces. By combining over 50 years of traditional Japanese metal engraving and jewelry-making techniques with a carefully designed production process, we enable customers to craft jewelry with professional-level quality.
From the moment you begin creating, a deep emotional connection naturally forms. Our mission is to share the joy, craftsmanship, and beauty of handmade jewelry with people from all over the world — offering an unforgettable experience and timeless pieces you will treasure forever.

Joined in 2023
While studying at a jewelry vocational school, I worked part-time at MITUBACI TOKYO for one year. After completing my studies, I applied to join the company as a full-time employee and officially started as a new team member in 2023.
Why Working at MITUBACI TOKYO Is So Rewarding
One of the most fulfilling aspects of working at MITUBACI TOKYO is creating handcrafted jewelry together with our customers and seeing their joy when their pieces are complete. As a jewelry artisan, I am constantly improving my fundamental techniques while also challenging myself with more advanced and intricate craftsmanship.
Because we welcome many international customers, I am also dedicated to improving my English skills to ensure smooth and enjoyable communication. Additionally, even in the first year of employment, it’s easy to take paid leave, allowing time for travel and personal hobbies. This supportive work environment helps maintain a healthy work–life balance.

Mid-Career Hire
After graduating from a specialized jewelry school, I spent 15 years working in both jewelry production and customer service. In 2023, I joined MITUBACI TOKYO as a mid-career hire, contributing immediately as an experienced craftsperson.
Why Working at MITUBACI TOKYO Is So Rewarding
Here, we complete high-quality jewelry with advanced craftsmanship on the same day, allowing customers to leave with their finished piece and a smile. This ability to deliver beautifully crafted jewelry in just one day is one of MITUBACI TOKYO’s greatest strengths and a source of deep professional fulfillment for me.
We are able to achieve this thanks to our professional-grade equipment, the high level of technical expertise possessed by each team member, and the strong collaboration and support among our staff.
A Message to Future Applicants
MITUBACI TOKYO welcomes customers not only from Japan but from all over the world. Here, you can develop specialized skills such as lathe processing while also refining your hospitality and customer service mindset. It is truly a unique and rewarding environment for jewelry professionals.
Jun Yanaizumi
Joined in 2018
I have loved detailed, hands-on work since childhood and always dreamed of becoming a skilled, professional jewelry artisan. That passion led me to attend a jewelry vocational school. After graduating, I joined Fujimori as a new employee and was transferred to the MITUBACI TOKYO workshop division in 2019, where I currently work as a craftsperson.
Why Working at MITUBACI TOKYO Is So Rewarding
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a jewelry artisan here is listening carefully to each customer’s story and creating custom jewelry that reflects their wishes. Seeing customers leave with genuine smiles and satisfaction gives me a strong sense of accomplishment and pride in my craftsmanship.
Although I had never traveled abroad and spoke almost no English, last year I had the opportunity to visit our sister store in Singapore with a senior colleague. As a professional jeweler, I participated in an international workshop event. Despite the language barrier, I was able to help customers enjoy the ring-making experience, which greatly broadened my perspective as an artisan.
A Message to Future Applicants
All MITUBACI TOKYO staff are friendly and supportive. We provide thorough training for every task, and the workplace environment makes it easy to ask for help whenever needed.
