プロジェクト「one wan（ワンワン）」について
私たちは、ニューヨークからシアトルまで、全米26都市・約8,000kmを駆け巡るアメリカ横断ロードトリップ中の姉妹です。裏千家15代家元の「一盌（わん）からピースフルネスを(Peacefulness through a bowl of tea)」という言葉に深く心を動かされ、国境を越えて人々を繋ぐためにこのプロジェクトを立ち上げました。全米各地の大学や公園で、屋外でカジュアルにお茶を楽しむ「野点（のだて）」を開催し、一杯の抹茶を通じて、出会った一人ひとりの心へ平和なひとときをお届けしています。

People behind Sunrise. 🌅

Originally from Japan and now based in California, Chloe Takahashi has spent the past decade working across the startup, innovation, and creator ecosystems of the U.S. and Japan. After launching and growing her own company abroad, she experienced firsthand how much mentorship, friendship, and community support can shape a person’s journey.

She founded Sunrise Club as a way to give back—creating a place where people can find meaningful connections, support one another, and stay connected across cities, careers, and cultures as life continues to evolve.
