YOSHIHITO SAKAYA

Creative Director

Yoshihito Sakaya has directed a number of stores in Ishikawa prefecture, including the select store "PHAETON", the tea store "TEATON", and the perfume store "PHAETON Fragrance Long Bar/House", as places to collect and experience "something new and hard to explain" on a daily basis and share the excitement of it. He also directs the magazine "DAIBENKYO", which is published by Phaeton. His magazine, "DAIBENKYO", has also been gaining attention for its contents that summarize the "new" that PHAETON is exploring. His knowledge of fashion, food, art, antiques, fragrances, cigars, cars, and much more is top-notch.
