EVERYDAY INSPIRATION

Natsumi is always inspired by nature. She grew up in the rural countryside on the southern coast of Japan, surrounded by the beaches and mountains which became her playground. It was there she became deeply inspired by nature. Living in New York City today gives her the chance to mix elements of the natural world with ideas from contemporary art, design, fashion and architecture.
