The kataoka Tokyo Flagship Store stands in a former factory, built in 1932. For nearly a century, this building has quietly witnessed the passing of time.

Its walls have held many lives, many stories, most of them now fading. My desire is to honor what remains. To preserve, even in a small way, the presence this place has carried through the years.

What if a gemstone were liquid?
From that quiet thought emerged a new vision—color held in surface tension, a cup of light poised to spill.

The setting, like a vessel.
The stone, a flavor of light.

The new collection, Taste of Light, reflects this impression: a sensation not only seen, but almost tasted.
Each piece captures the delicate boundary between form and feeling, a quiet indulgence, crafted to shimmer with emotion.

My son’s milk tooth, once lost and long forgotten, found again in a quiet moment.

Carved into pearl, not just to remember, but to search for something I hadn’t yet understood. A trace of childhood, a glimmer of the mystery that still lingers.
