Blessing the Miracle Garden

On April 14, a traditional Japanese ceremony was held at Ninapharm’s Miracle Garden inside the French Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, led by Priestess Kozumi Linsui—one of the few women in this sacred role.

The ritual honored the Millenary Olive Tree, a symbol of longevity, resilience, and renewal. In Japan, such blessings purify and protect, creating harmony between humanity and nature. We were deeply honored by the presence of Jacques Maire, Commissaire général du Pavillon France, whose attendance reinforced the shared commitment of France and Japan to heritage, science, and sustainable innovation.

This ceremony was made possible through the support of the Femmes du Monde Foundation, with Machiko Ikeoka leading the project.

We gathered what was once unthinkable and merged into one unforgettable moment.
