Basic Philosophy
Building a society filled with peace and joy through works of art
Greetings from the Representative
Thank you very much for visiting this page. My name is Ayumi Sakurai, and I am the representative of Fuwafuwa Friend Artworks. I sell the work of Ryota Sakurai, my husband and photographer.
I decided to sell Ryota's photos at the end of 2023. In August 2024, we were offered the opportunity to hold a photo exhibition for Ryota in a completely unexpected way, and we accepted. In September 2024, we successfully held Ryota’s first-ever photo exhibition.
During the event, we were fortunate to have many wonderful encounters, which helped clarify the direction for our future activities.
Following the conclusion of the photo exhibition, I dedicated time to defining the basic principle of Fuwafuwa Friend Artworks.
I am truly delighted to have reached this moment of presentation. I will work diligently and with enthusiasm to ensure that Fuwafuwa Friend Artworks continues its endeavors to contribute to world peace.
Thank you for your time to read this article.

About the Logo

Why is the illustration a simple one?
This reflects my desire to cherish the purest essence of Fuwafuwa Friend.
Furthermore, this business was launched when I lacked specialized knowledge in art. It also expresses my straightforward view on artworks―that “without getting into the complicated stuff, good things are good.”
Why is a bird illustrated?
The wish for “Fuwafuwa Friend to create artworks freely and lightly” is embodied by this bird, which evokes the image of flying freely and lightly. Its smiling, joyful appearance is also a key point.
