Shiko — The Origin of Jikko’s “Supreme Light.”
The name Shiko combines the character “Shi” (Supreme) from the Japanese word “Shikō,” meaning “supreme,” and “Ko” (Light) from Jikko.
This series embodies Jikko’s original design DNA — a balance of brilliance and refinement that later inspired the Ginza and Gion lines, two of Jikko’s most popular series.
