Nagori
Ryoko Sekiguchi · Peripheral · 2023
Nagori is a delicious essay by the Japanese poet and essayist Ryoko Sekiguchi, based in Paris, that removes the nostalgia of the passing of the season with exquisite delicacy. A work of goldsmithing as lyrical as it is full of life, ideal to embrace the spring that begins with the enchido spirit of beautiful images. A pleasure to enjoy with the April breeze through your hair. ALODIA CLEMENTE (The Red)
