The Presage Sharp Edged series brings the traditional Japanese art of Kabuki theatre for today's watch enthusiasts.
Ever since its introduction in 2020, the creative combination of Japanese culture and modern design has been a central feature of the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series. Two new timepieces join this series and pay homage to the enduring longevity of Kabuki. These watches have been designed in collaboration with Ebizo Ichikawa, one of Japan's most prominent and influential Kabuki actors.

Kabuki is a dramatic form of theatre which combines music and dance, and it is one of Japan’s most quintessential traditional performing arts. It enjoys great popularity and has always reflected the tastes and fashions of the townspeople. With a history stretching back over 400 years, this all-male theatre form has a vast repertoire that is still performed, ranging from ancient pieces that are hundreds of years old right up to new theatrical experiments.

Dial Colour

The dial’s reddish-brown persimmon colour is known as Kakiiro and is a traditional Japanese colour that originated with the Ichikawa family who first used it generations ago in their Kabuki costumes. Still today, Kakiiro remains a Kabuki favourite. The Kakiiro dial exhibits a colour gradation that creates a unique sharpness and depth. The dial’s edge bears a darker shade so that the gold-toned hands and indeces stand out.

The watches are offered with a leather strap with a Kakiiro back. This is a subtle nod to the Edo period when it was forbidden to wear vivid colours in public and so they were only used on the back of garments.

Dial Pattern

The dials incorporate the Japanese hemp leaf pattern known as Asanoha, which has been used in the fabrics of Kabuki costumes for centuries. Partly due to the popularity and influence of Kabuki actors, the Asanoha pattern has long been favoured in Japanese fashion and design.
