Aiko’s soirées are legendary for their fusion of old and new. Last autumn, she hosted a furusato (hometown) party in her garden, complete with a geisha-led performance of sakura songs, paired with an Aperol spritz bar. She’s a patron of experimental theater, funding a troupe that reimagines Noh plays with cyberpunk aesthetics. Her annual “Moon Festival” attracts Tokyo’s elite and international creatives, where she uses AR technology to project holographic kimonos on ancient temple walls—a dazzling celebration of her heritage.
