Driven by a simple, non-negotiable principle: Integrity. In my mind, I wasn't just selling gold and gemstones. I was selling a Promise, a commitment to something far greater than any material.

Hazel Luxury JP didn't begin with venture capital or a massive marketing campaign. I started with worn-out shoes, walking from one place to the next, looking for like-minded partners. I patiently weathered the passage of time, waiting for the right opportunity to come.

I've faced my share of hardships. But as the Japanese saying goes, "Nanakorobi Yaoki", Fall down seven, stand up eight. To me, every challenge is just an opportunity in disguise. It's these challenges that have given me the wings to explore horizons I once thought impossible.
