M+ Project Story
In the heart of bustling New York City, amidst the towering skyscrapers and the constant hum of urban life, a haven of tranquility and cultural exchange exists – M Plus Project New York. Founded by the visionary Mika Azegami Parla, this innovative venture bridges the rich tradition of Japanese craftsmanship and the vibrant energy of the Big Apple.
Mika's journey began with a deep-seated passion for Japanese culture, nurtured by her childhood immersed in her homeland's artistry and craftsmanship. However, her move to New York ignited a spark within her – a desire to share the beauty and intricacy of Japanese hand made arts with the world.
Drawing inspiration from the collaborative spirit of both Japanese and New York artists, Mika set out to create a platform that would showcase their talents and serve as a beacon of cultural exchange and understanding. Thus, M Plus Project New York was born.
At the core of M Plus Project's mission lies a commitment to preserving and promoting the time-honored techniques of Japanese artisans passed down through generations. From the delicate art of ceramics to the intricate designs of handmade jewelry and homeware, each piece tells a story of tradition, innovation, and meticulous craftsmanship.
What sets M Plus Project apart is its dedication to fostering meaningful connections between artists and enthusiasts alike. Through pop-up events and community-based markets, Mika and her team have cultivated a space where creativity flourishes and cultural boundaries dissolve. Visitors are not just patrons – they are welcomed into a world where every purchase supports the artist and the preservation of a centuries-old heritage.
As M Plus Project looks to the future, its vision expands beyond the digital realm, envisioning a physical space where Japanese artistry can come to life. A gallery, cafe and showroom, where exhibitions showcase the diversity and talent of Japanese artists locally and globally, creates an immersive experience that transports visitors to the streets of Tokyo or the serene landscapes of Kyoto.
Through it all, Mika remains steadfast in promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. For her, the M Plus Project is more than just a business – it's a labor of love, a testament to the power of collaboration, and a celebration of the enduring beauty of Japanese craftsmanship.
So, whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious newcomer, come and discover the magic of M Plus Project New York – where tradition meets innovation and where the spirit of Japan finds a new home in the heart of the city that never sleeps.
