At the end of September, we held an exhibition in Paris, France.
Coming from Tokyo, where I had been enjoying the warmth of autumn, the brisk, wintry air of Paris felt refreshingly new—a sensation that naturally made me stand taller, as if adjusting to the city’s atmosphere.
This time of year, Paris is in the midst of Fashion Week.
The city, wrapped in a glamorous sense of anticipation, seemed to move just a little faster than usual.
When I first arrived in Paris, the jet lag had me waking up around 5 a.m. during the first few days.
Stepping out onto the balcony, with its lace-like wrought-iron railings, I was greeted by a city still enveloped in silence.
With a cup of coffee in hand, I breathed in the crisp morning air, savoring the calm.
“What possibilities will unfold during this stay?”
This thought, mingling with a touch of nervousness and a great deal of anticipation, filled my quiet mornings.
Hidden in the stillness, I would catch the faint sound of birds chirping or children laughing in the distance.These moments have become a cherished routine whenever I stay in France.
Once again, the exhibition was held at a gallery near a park in the Marais district.
This marked our third event in France.
There’s a comforting warmth in reuniting with guests who have attended from the very beginning, and an exciting sparkle in meeting new visitors for the first time.
With each exhibition, I feel the layers of emotions deepening—each event adding a new richness to the experience.
What I aimed to convey in this exhibition was not just the jewelry itself, but the stories that live within it.
Having built my career as a copywriter, I believe deeply in the power of words to communicate meaning.
This is why I prepared an unusually large amount of text for a jewelry exhibition.
Through both English and Japanese, I worked to deliver the message with the greatest possible clarity and purity, bridging the subtle nuances between the two languages.
The feedback I received most often was, “The idea of elevating overlooked materials into jewelry is fascinating.”
Some visitors even suggested ideas, asking, “What about this material?” The conversations opened up new possibilities, expanding the dialogue about materials and their stories.
Exploring the backgrounds and futures of these materials remains an inexhaustible theme for us—a journey that continues to inspire.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are preparing to hold exhibitions not only in Paris but also in new locations.Our goal is to build communities that transcend borders and languages, connecting people through shared empathy.
I am deeply grateful for the people I met and the insights I gained through this exhibition.I look forward to meeting you again in new places, under different skies.
