Presenting the beauty of the nature that speaks to you ~Matsuyoi~ Yukiko was born in Japan in 1967. She was interested in painting and Japanese clothes making influenced by her father who was an oil painter and her mother who was a ready-to-wear designer. When she was at university, she went to France prompted by her uncle who was a French philosophy researcher. She spent a whole month to travel through France and started to be charmed by old and new traditional handicrafts and fashion materials. After she grew up, she made trips to European and Asian countries and collected handicrafts and jewels of many places. Those journeys let her re-recognize the excellence of Japanese culture and stimulated her to learn Japanese tea ceremony, flower arrangement, Japanese dress-making and accessory making. After marriage, she moved to the coast. The beauty of Japanese nature greatly influenced her such as pearls cultivated in mild inland Sea of Japan or the coral grew in the vast Pacific Ocean.
