Welcoming 2014 with Pigeon Dynamite!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

This is the first post in 2014!!
I would like to let everyone know my 2013 was awesome because of your support,
so thank you for that.
I think back now and am really glad that I made the best decision last year that I stopped thinking about whether I should start my own brand or not and just did.
I've never felt so rewarded when I heard from customers telling me how much they love the item they ordered.
My grandfather used to say "those who do not work shall not eat" and my sister and I used to say jokingly "then we'd be dead from the hunger by now."
Last year, I think I've finally understood the meaning of his saying.
It is more than what it just sounds; I think the true meaning of that saying is what you do should be what you love so that it is more rewarding, appreciative and fulfilling your life. 



And I know that 2014 is going to be even more amazing!
Pigeon Dynamite wishes you all healthy, loving 2014 and is looking forward to showing you
new upcoming collections soon! 
Stay tuned!

 P.S-and from this year, the blog will be posted at 7AM on Thursdays EST (4AM PST).
あけましておめでとうございます！

今年最初のブログでございます！！
昨年は皆さんのサポートによって大変素晴らしい充実した年になりました。
お客様からの感謝のお言葉が何よりも励みになって、
作り手として何よりも嬉しい事はないと実感した年でした。
私の祖父がよく、”働かざる者、食うべからず”
と言っていて、私と姉が”じゃあ今頃私ら餓死してるな”
と冗談まじりに笑っていたのですが、
去年ようやく本当の意味でその文句が理解出来たような気がします。
そのまま捉える事は容易いですが、自分の仕事が食べ物程に値する、感謝出来るもの、即ち自分の本当に好きな事を仕事にしてこそ本当の意味で一生懸命働けて、それだけの報酬があるという事なのだなと自分なりに解釈できました。
2014年はもっと素晴らしい年になる事でしょう！
今年もPigeon Dynamiteをどうぞよろしくお願いします！
ニューコレクションも近々発表予定です！

I Wanna Be Buried in Dots

For some reasons, I've been looking at Yayoi Kusama's work again recently. It's probably unnecessary to explain who she is since her collaboration with Luis Vuitton in the past that helped a little bit making her a world famous Japanese contemporary artist like Takashi Murakami. As far as I can remember, the first time I saw her work in person was at the NY Armory show in the city many years ago. I remember looking at her sculpture of this flower, just instantly felt that I love her work without a thought. Ever since, we've had some of her work exhibitions in NYC, but what I remember the most of her work is from the exhibition I went in Osaka even before these events in NYC. There were just so many of her work in Osaka city museum. Her famous "Pumpkin" sculpture. You can find this at Chichu museum in Naoshima, too. I am hoping to visit in near future. The architecture of the museum is also pretty cool too. The kids playing wi

Almost Autumn

Image
Autumn is my absolute favorite season besides spring (but probably even better.) Summer is great, even now I don't live as close to the beach as I used to in San Diego (15-20 min drive to any beaches..sweet!) here in NYC, summer is still fun and inspiring. But it's just fall is so much more to me. The color deepens, the food tastes better, air is crisper, coffee feels more comforting and I feel more creative and productive. It's like the pigments of every colors I see outside become more vivid and it's almost too beautiful and I cannot take it. Luckily the fall in the northeast gives the best part of my favorite season compared to what it did in SoCal which was a lot more muted. I remember the colors of Nara in the fall when I visited last year.   Even though it was passed the best time of their leaf watching season, it was still magnificent. I've seen better time, but it is always lovely to see the beautiful parks in the fall in Japan. I th

Questions to Be Answered

I have a confession to make-it's been a very difficult time for me to come up with new jewelry ideas in the last several weeks. And this might just sound I am making an excuse but since I know exactly why, I thought that I would make a post on this.  Besides my current move of my workspace, there's been just too much sad news that are giving me such a hard time to be creative and productive. (If I was working for a Japanese company, I'd probably be fired right away.) I could not possibly write a blog after just one post last month. Why on earth the airplane needed to be shot down? What the fuck is going on in Gaza, with Palestine, and Israel? And now Japan is possibly becoming the nation that supports war fares? Why?  I could not stop questioning why the world is how it is today. And I started researching and looking through the history, trying to understand. It was like one of the most depressing researches I've done. It only made me question
