Recipients of the fifth JNA Awards were announced at the InterContinental Hong Kong on 14 September 2016.
Shouzui Yasui, CEO of Yasui & Co, was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. “Yasui is a name that has long been associated with casting solutions for the jewellery industry. Yasui’s casting solutions, starting from the wax injector, were seen as pivotal in the mass production of jewellery, which consequently made jewellery accessible and affordable to many,” said award organiser JNA.
