You are bidding on an authentic Kazuo Kawasaki eyeglasses frame, model MP 692, color pewter #69, rimless, MADE IN JAPAN. This is a unique rimless frame with only one hole to hold the lens: although it comes with dark green sunglasses lenses, you can change the lenses to prescription ones, as well.

What differentiates Kazuo Kawasaki glasses from the others in the market, is not only its slick and classy design, but also the materials, the innovative design and the high quality. 

Most part of his glasses are made of titanium, which is extremely light, super resistant and non-allergenic. Kazuo Kawasaki glasses are designed with almost no screws (or even no screws at all), which can get lose over time and either let the glasses fall off your face, or create discomfort. Most of the time they have powerful high tech clips, instead.

These are one of the best brands in the market. Some personalities who adopted Kazuo Kawasaki's glasses are: former Secretary of State Colin Powell, actress Woopi Goldberg and Governor Sarah Palin. Please, note this specific model is not the one used by Sarah Palin.

The manufacturer produces a very limited number of each model, what keeps its exclusivity and market value: these glasses are known to be quite expensive.

Kazuo Kawasaki is a 59 years old industrial designer, engineering professor at Osaka University in Japan. He is not any ordinary designer, but a well-known, worldwide recognized and award winning designer, with permanent pieces in the Smithsonian Museum, as well as the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
