Welcome, Coco-chan!

In this summer, Michiko experienced a heart-wrenching departure as she bid farewell to her beloved bird, Tete-chan, who had been her companion since birth. Tete-chan had served as a profound source of inspiration for the creation of Maro Dori, an imaginary bird adorned with traditional Japanese-style makeup that symbolizes nobility.

To cope with her grief, Michiko warmly welcomed a new small bird, Coco-chan, whose irresistible cuteness reignited her creative spark. Now, Coco-chan, in the form of Maro Dori, perches gracefully atop a sunflower, exuding the vibrant essence of summer vibes!
