KOHARU is a calligrapher&curator
connecting Japanese art and culture with the world.
日本の芸術文化と世界を繋ぐ書道家&キュレーター
Architecture |
She studied architecture at university and graduated as a top student from a university in Tokyo, Japan.
After graduation, she designed architecture in a developer, and won a Good Design Award.
Art |
After leaving the company, she moved to the UK to look at Japan from the outside. There, she saw remarkable attention paid to Japanese culture, from Japonism to the present day. She herself became more fascinated by the delicacy, depth of history and beauty of Japanese culture.
Calligraphy |
She has studied calligraphy since the age of six and got qualified when she was still in junior high school. She initially began teaching calligraphy to support her life in the UK, but later expanded her activities to hold solo exhibitions. As well as calligraphy, she studies Zen as well as calligraphy and pursue a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. Currently she is based in Italy and works on her creation.
Florist |
Alongside this, she also has a career as a florist and is multi-talented in all aspects of her work. Her heart was saved by the aesthetic beauty of flowers that bloom a bud and wither momentarily, and then fall away.
People and nature.
Hare(Sacred) and Ke(secular).
People and people.
Flowers can connect them to each other.
建築｜
大学では建築を専攻し、東京にある大学を主席で卒業。
卒業後は大手ディベロッパーにて建築の設計を担当し、グッドデザイン賞を獲得する。
芸術｜
退社後、日本を外から見るため渡英。そこで、ジャポニズムから現代においても、日本文化の注目度の高さを目の当たりにする。自身も、より日本文化の繊細さ、歴史の深さ、美に魅了されるようになる。
書道｜
彼女は６歳から書道を習い、中学生にして師範の資格を持つ。初めはイギリスでの暮らしを支えるため書道を教え始めるが、後に個展を開催するまでに活動を広げる。書道だけでなく禅を学び、日本文化への深い理解を追求する。現在はイタリアを拠点に世界に向けて制作活動を行う。
花道｜
その傍ら、フローリストとしてのキャリアも持ち合わせる。多才に全てをこなす。蕾をつけて枯れてゆく、その刹那に散りゆく花の美しさに心が救われたという。
人と自然。
ハレとケ。
人と人。
花はそれらをつなぎ合わせるることができる。
She weaves together all her sensibilities - architecture, calligraphy and flowers - in her projects.
彼女の持つ建築・書道・花、全ての感性を織り合わせて、プロジェクトを行う。

Giorgio Fragiacomo
ジョージオ・フラジャコモ
He began managing guesthouses while studying tourism economics at an university in Italy.
He then expanded his business to organise traditional Italian events, run a nightclub and a wine business, all with a focus on culture.
He moved to London, where he was surrounded by information from all over the world, and deepened his knowledge of photography from international angles.
Meanwhile, he became interested in Japan's deep history, traditional crafts, landscapes and national character, and learnt the Japanese culture and language.
He sees many cultural similarities between Italy and Japan.
Craftsmanship is outstanding.
There is a spirit of deep and profound pursuit.
A refined culture in each region.
Blessed nature, such as the sea and mountains, and abundant food.
People help each other.
However, he notes that Japan has many structures that make it difficult for foreigners to establish themselves in the country.
At the same time, he sees a potential scarcity of business there. He runs his title both as an entrepreneur and as a photographer.
観光経済に関してイタリアの大学で学びながら、ゲストハウスの経営を始める。
その後活動の幅を、イタリアの伝統文化イベントオーガナイズ、ナイトクラブ経営、ワイン事業等、文化を軸にビジネスを展開しつつ、独学で写真を学ぶ。
ロンドンへと渡り、世界中から情報が集まる環境に身を置くことで、あらゆる角度から写真に対する知見を深めていく。
一方で、日本の深い歴史と、伝統工芸、風景や国民性に興味を持ち、日本文化と言語を学ぶ。
彼は、イタリアと日本にはさまざまな文化的共通点があるという。例えば、
職人技術が卓越しており、深く深く追求してゆく気質。
土地ごとに洗練された文化。
海や山などの恵まれた自然と豊かな食。
人と人が助け合う。
しかし、日本は盲目的に外国人が入りにくい仕組みが多く存在することに着目する。それと同時に、そこにビジネスとしての希少価値を見出す。起業家としての肩書きと、写真家としてのキャリアを両輪で走らせる。
