days in Paris

It had been a while since I last visited the Netherlands five years ago, and I was thrilled to see the French landscape from the plane.

This is why no matter where you cut it, it becomes a picture.
Due to the effects of a fire that occurred in the past, wooden buildings are prohibited in densely populated areas, and strict rules have been established, such as determining the height of buildings and the floors on which balconies are allowed.

Because of restrictions on building height, the sky is wide and the cityscape has a solid, weighty feel to it. It was a refreshing change from the usual Tokyo scenery surrounded by buildings.

I walked over 10 kilometers around the city for three days for work. But strangely, I didn't feel tired. I just kept walking from morning until night came.

This is what I mean: Here is a picturesque place no matter where you cut it off.
Due to the fires that occurred in the past, wooden buildings are prohibited to be built in the dense areas, and strict rules are set for the height of buildings and the level of balconies that are allowed.

Because of the height restrictions, the sky is wide and the streetscape of Paris feels solid and heavy.
It was quite the opposite of the view I usually see in Tokyo, which is surrounded by buildings, and it felt fresh and new to me.

I walked around the city for more than 10 kilometers in three days during my stay in Paris.
I walked and walked and walked from the morning to the night.
However, somehow, I did not feel tired at all.

What surprised me was that even the elderly guests were dining late into the night. They were all dressed up in stylish attire, which was very lovely.

One of the reasons for my trip to Paris this time was to photograph ENOF, and I was really looking forward to seeing how the European-based photographer would capture ENOF.

I was impressed to see that elderly people were also having dinner very late in the evening wearing elegant clothes, and they all looked very nice.

One of the purposes of this trip was Campaign shooting for ENOF.
I was really looking forward to seeing how the Europe-based photographer would capture our products.

The new ENOF has been rebranded and is now in-house operated from this season.

This trip to Paris was all about expressing ourselves in the way we wanted to and having fun.

I was proud of the items that were carefully and lovingly made in Japan, and the trip made me love ENOF even more.

As we grow older, the image we see in the mirror inevitably changes without us even realizing it, but there are some things that remain constant, personal basics, things that remain forever. Things that we always wear for some reason. I'm sure that everyone has at least a few of these.

This trip also reaffirmed to me how great it would be if our items could become such items.

The new ENOF has been rebranded as an in-house operation from this term.
Our trip to Paris was based on the idea to develop the brand in the way we wanted to express it, and to enjoy ourselves as well.

I am proud of the items that were carefully and lovingly produced in Japan, and this trip made me feel even more in love with ENOF once again.

As we get older, the image of ourselves in the mirror inevitably changes.
However, there are some personal basics that never change, some things that stay with you always, and some things that you just slip on your sleeves a lot, and I am sure there are a few of them for everyone.

This trip reminded us that we hope our products will become such an essential piece for our customers.
