Finding inspiration in collaboration

WITH ARTISTS & CRAFTSMEN

I fell in love with Japan while working with craftsmen and craftswomen. 

Along the way, I also met inspirational artists.

My discussions with artists, the strong connections I create with artisans in Japan are very important to me.

It is something that makes my life rich and meaningful. Because I feel extremely lucky to do what I do, I want to share it with you so you can also benefit from it.

I hope you will enjoy as much as I do and that it will inspire you in any way.

Through KAERAÑ I share what I discover here in Japan and resonates in me,

I also collaborate with artists and craftsmen to create inspirational projects

with the goal to promote, preserve, challenge and make evolve the techniques and heritage 

because I believe that through collaboration you get the most beautiful and meaningful things,

objects and experiences.

how much was involved in making a single piece of work."
