The horizon.
Day and night.
I can feel an overflowing energy in those moments when nature’s rhythms converge.
And perhaps—the days shifting from summer to autumn.
I believe the jewelry—crafted from platinum and yellow gold—carries that same sense of vitality.
Here in southern Yakushima, the plumerias are in full bloom.
Especially in the early mornings, I often notice a gentle coolness in the air.
The season is surely changing.
I am making his wedding band, feeling that quiet yet flowing vibration.
Braiding hard platinum and gold as if they were soft, flowing cords.
It’s almost like mizuhiki—graceful and symbolic of blessings.
Little by little, with great courage.
I had to apply more pressure to bring the two metals together and shape them into a flowing line.
I felt a quiet joy, standing in that moment as the small ring we designed together took shape.
I could sence the first breath of life within that small ring.
