Permanent Collection at Kimono Salon "Tosanki" in Minami-Aoyama
I'm pleased to announce that a permanent collection of my handcrafted Raden (mother-of-pearl) obidomes are now available at Kimono Salon Tosanki in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo.
Raden obi dome (kimono sash clip) with pine, bamboo, plum, chrysanthemum, butterfly, and floral motifs by Kaori Sugano. Available at Tosanki in Minami-Aoyama.

Tucked away in Minami-Aoyama, Tosanki serves as a refined haven for kimono enthusiasts. The main floor presents an exquisite array of modern and rare treasures selected from all over Japan, accompanied by "Fugetsu," a second-floor tea room dedicated to traditional cultural arts.
I cordially invite you to visit the store to admire the fine craftsmanship and shimmering nuances of the mother-of-pearl firsthand.

My Online Shop Opening

Thank you all so much for your continued support and for watching over my work.

The shop URL will be announced at a later date.
Collection:

I am also currently making preparations for international shipping. Please note that international orders may take a little longer to arrive than domestic ones due to customs procedures and other logistics, but I am committed to delivering each piece carefully to all of you who are looking forward to them.

Art Fair Tokyo 20.
ART FAIR TOKYO 20 will be held at the Tokyo International Forum from March 13 to 15, 2026.
At the Kagawa Urushi Lacquerware Institute booth within the fair, I and Michiyo Kitaoka hold a two-person exhibition.
Currently, I am creating a series of butterfly-shaped boxes, wall panels, accessories, and other items for this exhibition (the butterfly box in the photo is in the process of being layered with urushi).
Although the exhibition space is not large, I hope to display a variety of works, both large and small, including past pieces.
Once the materials are ready, I will provide further details.
