Personal and Professional Philosophy and Mission
Wa (和)-Harmony, Kei (敬)-Respect, Sei (清)-Purity, Jyaku (寂)-Serenity. Being an instructor of Tea Ceremony, Reiko wants to practice her skills to the best of her abilities to achieve these basic philosophies that she can apply to her career, designs and life. Her philosophy is to treat each other as a family member, respect each other and at the same time make the best efforts to gain respect from others, to maintain purity in spirit by not doing anything wrong as a human being and pursue the goal of achieving internal peace.
Her life in transition and success...
Her great CNN career was very influential for her to become an interior designer: through her journalism career, she gained capability to sense directions or trends of the society’s needs (which direction and what customers wants in the upcoming years). In terms of creating TV shots, she leaned what is the most impactful and appealing; this reflected on her interior design career. She also gained knowledge of managing team, scheduling and budget.
