What does “Contemporary Life” mean to you?
“Less is More”
It is the aesthetic of subtraction in all kinds of fields.
Minimal life, where you live richly with few things.
From the perspective of environmental conservation as well, an awareness of “Less is More” means not pursuing material richness but instead choosing only those things that are important.

What are the things you are thinking about lately?
In preparation for a skin care launch, every day I’m thinking exclusively about the product.
We are in an era of “Less is More.”
I want to bring many people products that are simple and feel good, that are nice on the skin, and that are sustainable and beautifully designed. I will be happy if I can bring “comfort” to people’s lives.
