Creation of the EightStar
In the mid 1980s, Mr. Higuchi achieved his breakthrough after an entire year of constant setbacks and defeats - including a huge investment in wasted diamonds. Mr. Higuchi announced during the early months of his research that only one of Tolkowsky's calculations seemed to apply.
He found that using the exact application of Tolkowsky's recommended angles and proportions in every way except this one seemed to prohibit, rather than allow, him to make the diamond that Mr. Tamura wanted.
It then took him the better part of a year following this discovery to finally learn what he needed to know about diamonds to make them do what Mr. Tamura wanted each one to do. When Mr. Higuchi was able to create them at will, then, and only then, did Mr. Tamura name the cut he created the EightStar
