Story
For a long time, I hesitated to follow my dreams.
I had many dreams like becoming a ballerina, a singer, a Maiko, or a kimono tailor, but fear and disappointment made me give up on them.
In March 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, causing unimaginable damage.
Rising water levels erased beaches, and fishing boats were left stranded in fields amidst countless debris.
I thought about the family and friends I suddenly couldn't meet and felt I might never return home as I evacuated.
Despite my anxiety, I had to keep looking forward because I had children to protect.
In the days that followed, I struggled to regain my family, work, and normal life.
Living to serve others, finding joy in their happiness became my purpose.
Eleven years after the earthquake, losing my health and leaving my job made me reconsider my life.
I remembered the dreams and things I loved and decided to take responsibility for my life.
Since childhood, I've loved kimonos and wanted to work with them.
The charm of "Tsumami-zaiku" I saw on Instagram captivated me, and I wanted to create my pieces and spread this traditional craft worldwide, sharing Japan's delicate techniques.
A letter from a friend who had studied abroad inspired me to deliver new products from Japan to the world.
This led to the start of my business, "sunny sea." The name "sunny sea" symbolizes the sky and sea that connect Japan and the world, aiming to bring joy and openness to people everywhere.
At "sunny sea," we offer unique items that blend traditional Japanese crafts with modern design.
Please enjoy the world of "Tsumami-zaiku," filled with my passion and love, at Sunny Sea.
