Kaji

Founder & Creative Director


Raised in a family of artists,

I grew up surrounded by music and art, with a natural pull toward creating.

Creating has always been instinctive—

with a mind that’s constantly exploring new ideas.

After years working with fragrance,

I chose to step away and build something of my own—creating independently, with greater intention and clarity.

I’ve always been drawn to exploring—
following ideas as they come, and creating as I go.

Hikari Lab grew naturally from that—
something quiet, personal, and considered.

Rooted in California, with a lasting influence from Japan.
