Business Supporter - Gold ($5000)

① Logo Placement:

Your company or personal logo will be prominently placed on all promotional materials and at the exhibition site.

Particularly, your company’s logo will be prominently placed in the center of photos that many visitors will share at the Kintsugi photo booth.

The Kintsugi photo booth, located outside the exhibition area, allows visitors to take selfies through a Kintsugi-themed frame. It’s an inviting space where everyone can stop by and enjoy taking photos. Your company’s logo, alongside the Kintsugica logo, will be placed together at the center bottom of the Kintsugi cracks.

 To ensure inclusion, logos must be submitted by 11 PM on October 23, 2024 (EDT) or brought to the venue by 7 PM on October 5, 2024 (EDT).

② Exhibition Presence

As a Silver Business Supporter, your company will have dedicated display space at the exhibit (108 x 48 inches or more), providing a unique opportunity to showcase your brand to a wide audience. The display can be customized to align with your branding or specific messaging. We offer flexible options to accommodate various styles and exhibition needs. Please feel free to contact us at introjapanca@gmail.com with the subject line "Inquiry: Business Supporter at Nuit Blanche" for any questions or to discuss your exhibition preferences.

⑧ Five carefully selected incense varieties

These premium incense sticks are from Shoyeido, a Kyoto-based incense maker with over 300 years of history. They are used in high-end restaurants (料亭/ryotei) and traditional inns (旅館/ryokan) across Japan, and are the same fragrances we burn daily at the Kintsugica atelier, allowing you to experience the very scent of our workshop.

⑨ Handcrafted wooden paper:

This elegant wrapping is made by skilled artisans who carefully carve each sheet from wood, originating from the forests of Iwate, Japan—the largest producer of urushi (lacquer), a key material used in Kintsugi.

⑩ Kintsugi postcard set:

This set features Kintsugi artworks by Shuichi, one of the world’s leading Kintsugi masters. Each postcard is inscribed with timeless Japanese philosophical sayings, offering inspiration for life.
