Anthony Ledru (President & Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany & Co.) commented,

Tiffany & Co. has been inspired by Japan for decades and the House's authentic connection and extensive history in the region has only continued to grow. Our latest exhibition showcases some of Tiffany's most exceptional creations including the first Bird on a Rock brooch from 1965 designed by one of the 20th century's most gifted designers, Jean Schlumberger. Uplifting the exceptional craftmanship, unparalleled diamond authority and inventiveness of Tiffany, the exhibition will bring the joy of the House to every visitor.

Tiffany & Co.'s relationship with Japan dates back to its earliest days in 1837 when Charles Lewis Tiffany began offering his clients a rare selection of imported Japanese goods. Since then, many of Tiffany's most famous designers, including Edward C. Moore, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Elsa Peretti, found inspiration for their work in the Japanese arts. Celebrating respect and creativity, the exhibition showcases Tiffany's appreciation of Japan from various angles.

The exhibition's location in one of Tokyo's tallest buildings also reflects a link between Tiffany, Tokyo, and New York City. The renowned architecture firm OMA New York, which designed the Toranomon Hills Station Tower and played a significant role in redesigning Tiffany's Fifth Avenue flagship store, has also designed the scenography for Tiffany Wonder.

The exhibition tells the story of craftsmanship, creativity, tradition, and modernity in ten chapters, including "The World of Tiffany," "Wonder of Origin," "Creators of Wonderful Design," and "Garden of Imagination: Jean Schlumberger." Tickets can be purchased via the official Tiffany & Co. app, Ticket Pia (website and app), or at the 7-Eleven convenience stores.
