MESSAGE FROM CEO

Japanese Aesthetics,
for Life’s Most Meaningful Moments.

Japan has a rich heritage of beautiful materials and a culture of craftsmanship shaped by generations of attention to detail.

RICAYO was born from a desire to bring that Japanese sense of beauty and craftsmanship to the world through a new expression of gifting.

From traditional Kyoto kimono textiles to Bishu tweed, created in one of the world’s renowned wool textile regions, we draw inspiration from materials shaped by Japan’s distinctive heritage.

By combining these materials with contemporary glitter roses, each RICAYO creation is carefully handcrafted in Japan.

For more than 20 years, I have also been involved in the development and manufacturing of automotive components, a field where precision and uncompromising quality are essential.

The commitment to detail and quality I developed through that experience is deeply embedded in the way we create at RICAYO.

Our goal is not simply to create a beautiful bouquet.

We want to create something the giver can choose with confidence and the recipient will remember for years to come.

A gift that can make one of life’s most meaningful moments even more extraordinary.

Japanese materials, sensibility, and craftsmanship, reimagined through a new expression and shared with the world.

Through RICAYO, we hope to share the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship and the joy of giving with people around the world.

MESSAGE FROM SMD

Senior Managing Director

From Japan to the World,
Gifts Made to Be Remembered.

There is something special about the time we spend choosing a gift for someone we care about.

We want to make them happy. We want to surprise them. We want to express feelings that may be difficult to put into words.

I believe those feelings are universal, no matter where we live or what language we speak.

Over the years, I have worked closely with our customers while being involved in many aspects of our brand, from e-commerce and product and packaging design to photography, video, and social media.

Through those experiences, I have seen again and again that a gift has the power to communicate feelings that words alone sometimes cannot.

At RICAYO, we cherish the beauty of Japanese materials and the delicacy of Japanese craftsmanship while continually exploring how they can be reimagined as contemporary gifts for people around the world.

From the creation itself to the moment the box is opened and the moment the gift is placed into the hands of someone special, every detail matters.

We want every part of the RICAYO experience to feel meaningful and memorable for the person who chooses us.

A single bouquet, created in Japan, can cross oceans and become part of an important moment in someone’s life.

And years later, seeing that bouquet again may bring back the memory of that day and the person who made it special.

Our wish is to create gifts that continue to hold those memories and bring them from Japan to people around the world.

I carefully consider the angle and placement that allow each glitter rose to shine at its best, while fine-tuning the balance of the wrapping film and ribbons by hand. I hope the flowers we create with care bring beauty not only to special occasions, but also to the everyday moments that follow.
