The pop-up shop hosted by Ayako Sakurai in collaboration with JR Nagoya Takashimaya saw lively attendance and successful sales figures.

• - Approximately 250 visitors experienced increased purchase rates and average spending, indicating high interest from each individual.
• - A notable trend during the event was the presence of many mother-daughter pairs, highlighting a unique disposition distinct from events in other regions.

It was heartening to witness mothers and daughters sharing a passion for the inherent rarity and exceptional design of the jewelry, suggesting a promising legacy extending into future generations.
• - Many attendees expressed a desire to see the jewelry in person, indicating a long wait since previous pop-up events and anticipating this event. The nature of the products garnered attention primarily from seriously interested customers, contributing to an impressive purchase rate.
