[Innocent blue] is Kaori Aoi’s design studio. Kaori is a designer as well as an artist. She says in her artist statement:

Today, under the same sky, people dig up a lot of resources.
And they make many products to hurt people and the earth.
How could we put all these materials to better use?
There are no borders for impressions and feelings that you think to be
beautiful.
My work.
It is not for sadness.
It is not to hurt anyone.
It makes someone’s smile.
I want to be that.
