Shoko Fujiwara is the CEO of IVORY Inc. and a member of the Memento Mori in NYC Executive Committee.
She believes that life and death are not simply opposites.
“Life and death are both an ending and a beginning. They are connected in one great circle of life and love.”
Through Memento Mori in NYC, Shoko hopes to express this universal connection through the work of wonderful Japanese creators—and to share it with people in New York beyond religion, race, and cultural boundaries.
