Masunaga London Takeover Exhibition | Experience Japanese Eyewear Craftsmanship at The Optical Gallery

Experience the Complete Masunaga Eyewear Collection in London

On Wednesday 28th October 2026, The Optical Gallery invites you to experience one of the world’s most respected eyewear manufacturers as we present the Masunaga London Takeover Exhibition.

For one day only, our Twickenham gallery will become home to the complete Masunaga collection, bringing together over 120 years of Japanese craftsmanship, timeless design and technical excellence.

Whether you’re searching for your next pair of luxury prescription glasses, appreciate Japanese craftsmanship, or simply want to experience exceptional eyewear, this exclusive exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore the entire Masunaga universe in one place.

 

Why Masunaga?

Founded in 1905 in Fukui, Japan, Masunaga has earned a worldwide reputation for producing some of the finest eyewear ever created.

Unlike many manufacturers, Masunaga oversees virtually every stage of production in-house, maintaining extraordinary levels of quality control and precision. Every frame reflects a philosophy of craftsmanship where every detail matters, from the machining of titanium to the final hand-finished polish.

Their approach has attracted collectors, designers and eyewear enthusiasts from around the world.

Today, Masunaga continues to define what luxury Japanese eyewear should be.

Discover the Complete Masunaga Collection

Throughout the exhibition, guests will have the opportunity to explore the complete Masunaga collection in a relaxed gallery environment.

You’ll be able to compare different styles, materials and collections side by side while discovering the stories and craftsmanship behind each design.

The exhibition will also feature:

  • K3 by Kenzo Takada
  • Masters of Craft (subject to confirmation)
  • Limited edition collections
  • Heritage titanium frames
  • Contemporary Japanese designs

The Lens Art Experience

Alongside the frames themselves, visitors will also discover The Optical Gallery’s exclusive Lens Art experience.

Luxury eyewear deserves exceptional lenses.

Our Lens Art service combines advanced prescription technology with bespoke colour customisation, allowing you to personalise your eyewear with carefully curated tints, photochromic technology, mirrors and enhancement lenses.

It’s where Japanese craftsmanship meets individual expression.

More Than An Exhibition

This isn’t simply a trunk show.

Every guest will enjoy a private viewing session, giving you the time to appreciate the collection without crowds or pressure.

During your visit you can:

  • Explore the complete Masunaga collection.
  • Receive personal styling advice.
  • Discuss prescription lenses.
  • Experience bespoke Lens Art options.
  • Enjoy Japanese-inspired refreshments.
  • Discover exclusive exhibition privileges available only on the day.

Whether you’re investing in your first luxury frame or adding to an existing collection, our team will guide you through every option.
