Gem-Themed Land of the Lustrous Anime Inspires Real Jewelry
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The jewelry brand Tasaki is collaborating with the television anime of Haruko Ichikawa's Land of the Lustrous (Hōseki no Kuni) manga to release real-world jewelry inspired by the gem-themed series.
The anime's characters are getting their own necklaces with diamonds, pearls, and multi-colored stones. Each piece of fashion jewelry will be inspired by a certain character and their characteristic mineral. The collaboration will release more details in the future.
The anime's official website unveiled character designs for Phosphophyllite and Cinnabar on Saturday. The series will premiere in October.
Takahiko Kyōgoku (Love Live! School idol project, GATE) is directing the anime at the Orange CG animation studio (CG in new Evangelion, Macross Frontier movies). Toshiya Ono (Suite Precure, Gatchaman Crowds, The Perfect Insider) is in charge of the series scripts. Asako Nishida (Simoun, Love Live! School idol project, Active Raid) is designing the characters.
The manga's story takes place in the distant future, where a new life form called The Lustrous ("hōseki") is born. The 28 Lustrous must fight against the Lunarians ("tsukijin") who want to attack them and turn them into decorations, so each Lustrous is assigned a role such as a fighter or a medic. Although Phos hopes to fight the moon people, Phos is a Lustrous who is given no assignment until the Lustrous' manager Kongo asks Phos to edit a natural history magazine.
