A special place discovered by the two of you.

I want to create a wedding celebrated in the SATOYAMA of Japan.

「本来の結婚式のあり方」をテーマに、自然の中でのウェディング施設を千葉県君津市にある里山で始めることにしました。このプロジェクトの着想の背景には、写真家ロベール・ドアノーの写真集『田舎の結婚式』があります。1951年にフランスのサン・ソヴァン村で撮影されたこの写真集は、素朴な結婚式の様子を描いており、手料理を持ち寄り、村全体で祝うその姿が、「本来の愛情や幸せ」とは何かを強く思い起こさせられました。

千葉県を選んだ理由には、東京の自宅から1時間ほどで行ける場所に、日本の原風景や自然、里山が多く残り、そこに暮らす人々とのつながりが、自分たちを原点に立ち返らせてくれる。こうした風景や人々の営みの中で、愛情や幸福の本質を感じるとともにその美しさをウェディングという形で伝えることを目指していきたいと願っています。

PROFILE

1969
My father founded an import interior business.

 

1990
I joined the company that my father managed in the import interior industry. During trips abroad for purchasing, I was exposed to diverse cultures and customs, which deepened my admiration for antiques.

 

1998
Inspired by the "culture of cherishing old things" that I witnessed in Belgium and France, I founded "Old Maison." I began focusing not only on the furniture and decorations themselves but also on creating the surrounding space.

 

2010 and beyond
I began directing wedding venues and commercial facilities. Over the years, I have worked on numerous unique exhibitions themed around "the good old days." Notable themes include The Hotel Grand Bratislava, Spirit of Darwin, ANATOLIA, and SAPEURS.

 

2022
I started a wedding facility project in the nature of Kimitsu City, Chiba, themed around "the original way of a wedding." The inspiration behind this project came from the photobook The Country Wedding by photographer Robert Doisneau. The photobook, taken in 1951 in the village of Saint-Sauveur, France, depicts a simple wedding where the entire village gathers to celebrate with homemade dishes, which strongly reminded me of what "true love and happiness" are. Chiba is home to Japan's original landscapes, nature, and satoyama, and the connection with the people living there brings me back to my roots. In these landscapes and the lives of the people, I feel the essence of love and happiness, and I aim to share its beauty through the form of a wedding.

 

2024
I opened the nature-based wedding facility KODACHI in Shirakoma, Kimitsu City, Chiba.
