It was a tremendous honor to lead the Art and be part of the Japan team that brought to life Rituals’ newest and most beautiful collection: the Ritual of Sakura and the Ritual of Yozakura.
Our journey took us across prefectures, where we eagerly chased the blooming Sakuras with the primary focus on styling and creating sets that not only reflected the essence of the Rituals brand and universe but also upheld the authenticity of this cherished Japanese tradition.
With meticulous care and attention to detail, we curated every aspect, from the delicate Sakura petals to the choice of antique Japanese furniture and local crafts. Each element was thoughtfully selected to enhance the beauty of the locations and ensure the products stood out in their splendor.
This experience of creating enchanting scenes with professionals from around the world is one I will forever cherish as truly magical.
