Whenever I travel around the world, I am always amazed at the difference in people’s sense of style. Maybe the colors of the sky, which look the same, are different from person to person.

I am currently working on an expansion in Palm Desert. We have to decide on every possible detail. It is difficult just to decide on the color of the tiles, as we have different tastes and environments. One of the factors in the decision-making process is the difference in eye color due to race. A dark BAR for brown-eyed Japanese is too bright for blue-eyed Westerners. It is difficult for Japanese people with a monochrome-based color sense to choose colorful furniture. The reverse is also true.
My sense of color is based on my life in Asia, whereas in the U.S., I have a very different sense of color. I believe that there is no absolute sense of color, but only a relative sense. I feel comfortable with colors that are familiar from the life and society in which I have lived. On the other hand, when we step out of our homogenized environment and choose colors, we have to be cautious to be bold. The challenge of sense is not two steps ahead, but about half a step, which is cool.
I am enjoying the 8,800-kilometer air trip with these thoughts in mind. I guess the color of the sky, which looks the same, might be different for different people.
