ULTRA VIOLET x Teppei Kojima

A beautiful beginning to a new chapter in experiential storytelling.

What an unforgettable night as we officially unveiled ULTRA VIOLET—an inaugural event in a new series of extraordinary experiences designed to inspire and connect a community of visionaries.

Violet—born from a collaboration between NMG Network and the Kobayashi Group—has always been rooted in cultivating meaningful relationships across our vibrant communities. Since then, it has evolved into an award-winning brand, celebrated for its distinctive storytelling and design across print, video, and digital platforms.

With ULTRA VIOLET, we elevate that mission even further. These moments transform our stories into living, breathing experiences—where the individuals who inspire our pages are not just featured, but thoughtfully celebrated. Here, creativity and innovation converge in immersive, artfully curated gatherings that embody the essence of Violet.

This special evening was more than a launch—it was a reflection of how far we’ve come and a glimpse into the luminous future ahead. Thank you Tradmanʻs Bonsai for making the night so meaningful.
