Because we live in an era where we are surrounded by things, we can select and choose the product that best suits us. When you meet a product that is comfortable and meets your lifestyle, the experience of using that product in your everyday life makes one even happier. Through my work of selling Japanese handicrafts in FOUR DESIGN, LLC, I’ve learned that, the person who fabricates, the one who buys and the one who uses our products may be scattered in many places around the world, but still be all somehow connected by sharing the same feeling. From a far corner in Japan, I wish that all our products in FOUR DESIGN, LLC make the people who use them feel joyful and happier.

I met Taku in February of 2011 and then joined FOUR DESIGN, LLC since April of that same year. Presently, I am in charge of buying. My work is complex as I plan promotions with Taku, coordinate with YAMANASHI office for logistics matters, discuss with Akiko to fulfill client’s inquiries and request as well as being a good listener to Taku, as he likes to exchange views about many matters. I adore milk tea. I also like Guatemala’s coffee as it has a nice sour taste. I also like digital gadgets and I enjoy music with anomaly rhythms.

I have been concerned with world poverty and sustainable development and studied mainly Development Economics at university. I worked as a school teacher in Tanzania and Japan. I joined the IFJ team in 2022 and am in charge of sales and marketing. I am pleased to introduce the eco-friendly and long-lasting housewares beautifully designed by Japanese designers. The products are practical as well as sophisticated. They have a warm, calm, yet profound atmosphere. I am impressed with the beauty of the products in which Japanese tradition and modernity coexist. I would love to share the feeling with people around the world. By the way, I like swimming and listening to music, especially the flamenco guitar.
