It was so nice to finally meet them both.
Thank you for coming all the way to Yakushima.
I was so happy to hand over the wedding bands we had been creating together over the past few months.
It was such a lovely time, sharing the slow rhythm and gentle spring air of Yakushima.
They came from Switzerland.
They told me it was their first time visiting Yakushima Island, but they had already visited Japan seven times before.
Yes, they are true Japan lovers, and they also speak Japanese very well.
I am so grateful for the beautiful bond we shared across the ocean while creating their precious wedding bands.
Strangely enough, even though it was our first time meeting, spending time with them felt so natural and familiar.
I made the rings in 18k pink gold and platinum, each with a width of 4mm.
On the platinum, I hammered a texture that reflects the shimmer of sunlight.
On the pink gold, I engraved sakura and hibiscus motifs.
Light and flowers come together in these rings, growing toward the future.
We had spent a long time discussing and shaping the design together, but when it finally came time to put the rings on, it felt like a special little moment for all of us.
The rings looked so beautiful on them!
I was truly happy that the fit was perfect.
We were lucky because, contrary to the forecast, the rain had stopped.
And finally, we were able to take some photos together that we had all been hoping for.
White lilies and hibiscus were blooming in the garden.
A sweet scent of fresh greenery drifted through the air.
We were surrounded by the island’s gentle humidity and a feeling of happiness.
I hope they have a wonderful time in Yakushima.
And I believe a beautiful future is waiting for them.
With more Arigato in my heart than I can hold.
