A Recap of Our Experience at the Meet-Up on July 29th, 2025

On July 29th, 2025, Nozomi-san and I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a meet-up where professionals from various industries gathered to share ideas and discuss how they engage with audiences in Japan. The event provided a great chance for networking and learning, and we were excited to participate.

The highlight of the day was Nozomi-san's presentation on Yamato Kimono Remix. She spoke about our company’s mission to share the art and beauty of Kimono culture, the fusion of tradition and modernity we embrace, and the workshops we host to immerse participants in Japanese culture. It was an exciting opportunity to showcase our work and connect with like-minded individuals.

The Presentation: Introducing Yamato Kimono Remix

Nozomi-san presented Yamato Kimono Remix to the attendees, emphasizing our dedication to preserving Japanese traditions while making them accessible and enjoyable for everyone. She shared how our workshops teach participants not just how to wear a kimono, but how to truly appreciate the history and artistry behind these garments. Our focus is on blending traditional Japanese fashion with modern creativity, which offers a unique and enriching experience.

It was inspiring to see how engaged the audience was, with many expressing interest in learning more about our workshops. We were pleased to see how our values and mission resonated with so many people, and we look forward to the possibility of future collaborations.

Networking and Insights from Other Professionals

Aside from the presentation, the meet-up was a fantastic opportunity to network with other professionals. I had the chance to connect with people from a variety of fields who are working towards unique goals in cultural exchange and experiential events in Japan. We shared ideas, insights, and discussed the challenges and opportunities of engaging people in Japanese culture.

It was fascinating to hear about how different companies are finding creative ways to present and celebrate Japan’s cultural heritage, and I walked away from the event with a lot of new ideas and perspectives.
