A fashion designer based in Japan. Driven by the desire to “encourage people to take the

first step toward self-expression,” she entered the fashion industry and focused on the

kimono, a symbol of Japanese identity. The kimono, which has been passed down through

the ages, now lies dormant in many people's closets. She breathes new life into these

unused kimonos, creating clothing that instills confidence, empowers people, and serves as

a means of self-expression for others.

Additionally, she focuses on costume provision and collaborations with artists, working with

creators across various fields to expand the possibilities of free self-expression. In 2024, she

will serve as director for a fashion show with 1,000 participants, and in 2025, she will host a

collaboration event with artists from diverse fields.

“I want to spread a culture where everyone values themselves and can express themselves

freely.” By blending tradition and innovation, she pursues true value.
