New York has such a strong energy.

Every time we go there,  we get a lot of great motivation and inspiration.

Jumble Tokyo Exhibition

I went to Jumble Tokyo Exhibition which was held in
Shibuya last week.



The Trade show, Jumble Tokyo has played a major role
amongst Japanese Clothing brands, accessories, home goods, as well as works of art within the industry for more than 10 years in the Tokyo fashion scene.



What makes Jumble unique is its vow for "quality first."

Their dedication is defined in its encouragement of local production and a long lifespan of goods through the careful selection of raw materials, perpetual design, and skilled craftsmanship.



However, Jumble and its 200+ vendors have collectively taken an initiative to present their story behind every produced product; who, how, and where our goods are produced within Japan.



Jumble organizes "JAMBLE PARIS" in Paris as well.


This exhibition is very cool.
Definitely "MUST SEE" expo.

Beautiful nature. Shiretoko, Hokkaido

 Today, I would like to introduce "Shiretoko Peninsula" in Hokkaido, Japan.


The Shiretoko Peninsula in eastern Hokkaido juts out into the Sea of Okhotsk.


It is one of Japan's most beautiful place and is said to be the last unexplored region in Japan.







The peninsula is home to a variety of wildlife, such as brown bears, deers and foxes.



In winter, the peninsula's coast along the Sea of Okhotsk becomes one of the northern hemisphere's southernmost regions to see drift ice.






This picture(above) is the Shiretoko-Goko lakes(five lakes), which are small, quiet lakes surrounded by a virgin forest, and known as "the five jewels". You can walk around these five lakes in about 90mins.



Shiretoko is known as a "waterfall kingdom", and many waterfalls can be seen from the sightseeing boat.



This picture(Right) is Oshinkoshin waterfall which flows alongside a road and drops magnificently towards the sea.

Shiretoko Pass(Left) is located at the top of the Shiretoko Highway.


This highway is popular among drivers during the summer, and views of snow that still remains at the end of July are impressive.






I strongly recommend to go to Shiretoko Peninsula if you were a nature lover.

The beauty and health industry expo

I went to the beauty and health industry expo which was held at Tokyo Big Sight.
This expo is divided into three sections.

"ANTI-AGEING JAPAN"

"DIET & BEAUTY FAIR"

"SPA & WELLNESS JAPAN"

You can research and find cosmetics, supplements, ingredients, equipments, methods, services...
anything related to the BEAUTY and HEALTH.

Visitors are mostly from Beauty salon, Fitness facility, Wholesale & trading company, and Manufacturer.

It's very interesting to see the beauty and health industry in Japan.

International Gift Show LIFE X DESIGN

 I went to International Gift Show LIFE x DESIGN which is held at Tokyo Big Sight.



Tokyo Big Sight is a convention and exhibition center in Tokyo, and the largest convention center in Japan.



It's located in Ariake Minami district of Tokyo Waterfront City on Tokyo Bay waterfront.



The shape of building is very unique.

The theme of the International Gift Show LIFE x DESIGN was "New Trends in Lifestyle Design for People and Living." Focusing on lifestyles and designs, the Show exhibits house-related products.
