Representative Aoki spoke about his thoughts on contributing to society through No. , saying that he was finally able to start working on a social contribution initiative that he had always wanted to make a reality. Aoki's daughter and No. executive producer, Kyoko Aoki, also said that she wanted to spread the experience of younger generations being able to get closely involved in social contribution through jewelry.
In addition, in terms of specific support organizations, the organization announced that it will not only provide financial support to the Panji Foundation and the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, but also plans to begin ongoing and in-depth involvement with them, including by hosting sessions to serve as an entry point for raising awareness of both organizations.
[Background to the launch of the project]
" 1000 wings " was born from " No. ", a brand that accepts diverse values through jewelry and supports positive self-expression, based on the philosophy of "HAPPY TO BE ME . "
We hope that by enjoying fashion and lifestyle, people will realize that contributing to society is not something far removed from them, but something that is connected to each individual's way of life. Fashion begins with the desire to "take care of yourself." We aim to share this feeling with people, spread the circle of happiness, and connect natural, positive emotions and actions to a better future.
