Recently, we had some lovely visitors at our Tokyo atelier.
My dear childhood friend and her son attended one of our workshops.
They discussed and worked together intently, creating a necklace that truly encapsulated their love and sensibility.
Later, I received a message from her that deeply moved me, both as a designer and a friend.
The ultimate compliment: "Where did you buy it?"
When she wore the necklace, her friend apparently asked her:
"It's so perfectly 'her name' that I have to ask, where did you find such a wonderful necklace?"
When she replied, "Actually, I chose the materials and made it myself," her friend reportedly said, "That makes so much sense!" with genuine understanding.
This is precisely the "authentic experience" I aim to provide through my workshops.
Genuine materials supporting "adult playfulness"
There's one thing I absolutely won't compromise on when hosting workshops.
That is, no matter how freely and playfully you enjoy designing,
it must be of a quality that adults can wear with confidence.
That's why I only use carefully selected "genuine materials."
Playful yet refined.
I believe it's my mission to deliver a piece that can be cherished for a long time.
The colors unique to imported parts and the texture that evokes handmade craftsmanship.
It is precisely because of these elements that even when expressing your "likes" honestly, the result is a refined, lifelong piece of jewelry.
Time spent in immersion is a source of energy for tomorrow.
"It really energizes me, both to look at and to wear!" she said, apparently naming the necklace "The Energizing Necklace."
Just as she said, the time spent working with your hands and immersing yourself in something is the ultimate solace for those of us living busy daily lives.
The sense of accomplishment that comes from focusing on intricate tasks and seeing them gradually take shape.
And then, when it's finished, that moment of looking at yourself in the mirror and reaffirming, "Ah, yes, this is what I love."
I believe that joy transforms into the power to live another day.
Let's shape your "likes" together.
"I'm not good at design" or "I'm not confident in my taste."
Please rest assured if you have such concerns.
As a designer, I will be right there by your side, carefully drawing out the "likes" within you.
To all adults who don't want to compromise their individuality.
I look forward to sharing the moment when your "bundle of likes" is born at the next open atelier.
