【Kevin LEMONNIER】
Artist, sommelier, and industrialist born in Paris in 1990.
He learned how to treat and paint bonsai from his collector father. He started training as a sommelier at a restaurant when he was 16 years old, and went on to work as a chef sommelier at famous restaurants such as DUCASSE Paris and La Cour Jardin. At the same time he continued his production activities.
He was fascinated by Japanese culture such as bonsai and martial arts, and moved to Japan for his business. He visited more than 30 sake breweries and was impressed by the sacred appearance of ”shimenawa”, which are enshrined as the boundary between the brewery and the outside world, and learned the production techniques. He is transmitting a new form of Japanese culture by applying the same technique and creating ”Briller” bonsai, which requires no maintenance, using wires of various colors.
