The Tokyo and Osaka venues of the 10th-anniversary event "440 The 10th" concluded successfully the other day.
To everyone who came to the Tokyo and Osaka venues,
thank you very much.
I am truly grateful to have met so many of you at this 10th-anniversary milestone.
To those who visited for the first time.
To those I met again after a long time.
And to those who always care about us and come to visit.
My heart is full of gratitude as I recall each and every one of your faces.
In Tokyo, it was an opportunity to see the 10-year progression of the brand, from its early works to the latest creations, all in one place.
I prepared for this exhibition hoping it would convey a sense of continuity between past and present works.
In Osaka, as our first-ever reform consultation event, it was a time to slowly discuss inherited jewelry and a special piece to cherish for the future.
I am very happy to have met and spoken with you in Osaka, as opportunities for direct consultations in the Kansai region are usually quite limited.
Looking back over these past 10 years, I deeply feel that we have been able to continue thanks to all of you.
Over the time we've built up, each encounter with those who view our work, choose our pieces, and consult with us has individually connected to form the 440 of today.
Through this event, I was once again strongly reminded of this.
Going forward, I hope to continue carefully crafting jewelry that will be cherished for a long time, tailored to each stone and each person.
Thank you very much.
I look forward to seeing you again.
