Body (First 8000 characters):
Carat Inc. (Headquarters: Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture, President and CEO: Takayuki Okuno) is pleased to announce that its 50th Studio Coffret, a private-style photo studio, and the 4th Studio Coffret in Chiba Prefecture, "Chiba Sakuragi Studio," will open on Friday, April 17, 2026.
We want families to capture their children's growth in a special, relaxing space. Studio Coffret, born from the desire to "choose 'slow food' that is different from 'fast food' – easy and speedy – and to shoot at each child's own pace," has been supported by stylish moms since its brand launch in 2012, thanks to its professionally designed interiors, original Coffret costumes, and private shooting spaces that deliver exquisite photos.

## Background of the New Studio
The "Chiba Sakuragi Studio" opening this time is located in Wakaba Ward, Chiba City. Wakaba Ward is located in the northeast of the city's six wards and is particularly large among them. While areas around the major station "Tsuga Station," served by the JR Sobu Line and monorail, are highly convenient, the area also boasts lush parks and quiet residential neighborhoods, making it popular with families.

The Chiba Sakuragi Studio is an 18-minute walk from Tsuga Station on the Sobu Line and a 5-minute walk from Sakuragi Station on the Chiba Urban Monorail. It is also a 10-minute drive from Kaizuka IC (Keiyo Road) and has 5 dedicated parking spaces, making it easy for families with young children to travel by car.

## Features of Chiba Sakuragi Studio

### 1: Concept is [Lien Étoilé]
Photogenic spatial styling is created by our in-house team of professional photo studio stylists. Studio Coffret installs interiors based on a different concept for each store, centered around the "One-Tone Photo (R)" (※) world view with a unified color scheme.

The concept for Chiba Sakuragi Studio is "Lien Étoilé" – meaning "connection of star brilliance" in French. It signifies the warm bonds of family created by the accumulation of small sentiments. This connection is quiet and beautiful, like starlight gently melting into the morning light. At Chiba Sakuragi Studio, with 5 sets meticulously designed for color and texture, you can carefully preserve such "gentle bonds" in the form of photographs.

※ "One-Tone Photo" is a registered trademark of Carat Inc.

### 2. Special Shoots Only at Coffret with Rental Original Costumes and Items
Coffret's commitment to carefully curated Japanese and Western-style costumes that adorn special days is a major feature. The lineup includes antiques and branded items sourced domestically and internationally, as well as original costumes, all unique to Coffret.

From dresses perfect for baby and birthday photos to Japanese and Western-style original outfits for boys and girls, the original items create a special photographic experience unique to Coffret's world. Furthermore, you can bring your own favorite outfits and toys for photo sessions.

### 3. Secure Private Space Shooting
Coffret allows studios to be a private space exclusively for families during shooting. This allows children and parents to relax, making it a comfortable environment for maternity shoots and for children who may be shy or wary of new places.
