"I thought I found their forever home... until today. 🥊✨
When I first laid eyes on this pair from Ash*ta no Joe (Tomorrow’s Joe), it was love at first sight. For a long time, they sat packed away in a black trash bag at home because I had no space to display them. When we expanded into unit #02-51, I finally put them front and center. I genuinely thought they’d stay with me forever.
Last week, a group of visitors from Hong Kong fell in love with them and asked if they were for sale. Half-teasingly, I gave them a price—never expecting what would happen next. They actually arranged for a local friend to drop by the gallery and buy them on the spot!
As the saying goes, a man’s word is his bond. As much as it hurts to let them go, I’ve always believed I’m just a temporary guardian for the pieces in my space. Once they find a home where they’re truly cherished, my job is done.
Just like Joe Yabuki’s story, life isn’t always perfect—but those bittersweet moments are what make the journey worth it. Burned out into pure white ashes. ⚪️🔥
