■ Ryutaro Suzuki （ Ryutaro Suzuki ）

The 7th generation head of Mohei Suzuki Shoten. The greatness of Japan's traditional industry lies in its functionality, and a characteristic of chochin, which are daily necessities, is that they can be folded. While maintaining the tradition of chochin production, the company collaborated with artist Mick ・ Itaya to create "Suzumo Chochin," a lighting fixture and art object with functionality that illuminates the future from a new perspective.

■ Mick ・ Itaya

Graduated from Tama Art University. Visual artist and designer. A poetic future romantic who loves angels and goddesses drawn with fluid lines and the twinkling of the sun and stars. On the other hand, he is also involved in music, fashion, mirrors, and recently designed a functional lighting fixture "Suzumo Chochin".
