FOUNDER

KOTA FUJII

At the age of 17, he began to explore “ the value of handcrafted work and the presence of flowers“ after his mother's flower shop closed. Through studies in art and design, he encountered the “Spatial art of luxury fashion shows worldwide," sparking a sense of exhilaration. After graduating from art school, he spent from 2011 to 2016 based in Paris and Dublin, primarily assisting in event production for Asian brands at PARIS FASHION WEEK. In the realm of the arts, he engaged in various activities in the cultural sector, including on-site production assistance for stage arts like 'Sugimoto Bunraku Sonezaki Shinju' and serving as the head of the art curation group 'OMG.'

A serendipitous encounter led him to join VISIONS AND PARADOX LTD. in Tokyo in 2017, where he engaged in concept and event planning and production. He handled projects ranging from exhibitions and dinners to installations for luxury brands both domestically and internationally, progressing from assistant roles to producer responsibilities. He specialized in creating highly sensitive experiential productions that fused contemporary art galleries with traditional crafts and other forms of cultural fusion.

Through various travels and career encounters worldwide, he rediscovered a sense of exhilaration in the unique "distortions and timeless humanity" inherent in traditional crafts and handcrafted work. In 2024, he founded DE BLANKK LTD. with a focus on "experiences" as the core of our multifaceted business development.
