Neo Taki

A cherry blossom blew through NEO TAKI. Driven by a light breeze from the mountains, it floated slowly towards the ground.

But just before it reached the ground, Maggie's hand closed around the delicate petals. Caught! She looked up at the old cherry tree with amusement. ‘Some things never change,’ she thought and sighed, ’but some things should change.’ Determined, she trudged out onto the village square.

It had been years since she had left her small village in the mountains. Here, where everything moved to the rhythm of tradition, centuries-old culture was cultivated and anything modern was frowned upon. How close it had all felt to her back then!

She wanted more, colouful, louder! And that's why she left NEO TAKI, travelled the world, experienced and saw so much and learned even more.

She had to go very far and overcome many hurdles before she found her way home within her heart as well.

But she was no longer the same Maggie as she was back then and as much as she loved the traditions and culture, she was determined to stand up for more freedom and wildness in her village.

A new era was needed in which old and new could co-exist in harmony. And that time begins now!
