PARIS, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From 22 - 23 October, the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, hosted Lineage of Gold * Lineage of Silver, an exclusive exhibition of Japanese artistry from the Sui Collection at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. The event welcomed over 300 guests from across Europe's luxury, business, political, cultural, and creative sectors, as well as established collectors.
The exhibition, curated by renowned author and cultural producer Mari Hashimoto, presented Japanese traditional crafts through a contemporary presentation that showcased gold and silver, two highly valued metals that each have very distinct qualities.
Bringing together treasured objects sourced from across Japan, the works on view in Lineage of Gold * Lineage of Silver span gallery representation and institutional collections to the archives of traditional craft workshops, reflecting the practices and traditions that contribute to Japan's rich cultural landscape and history.
Around 60 examples of Japanese art and craftsmanship were on display. The exhibition included lacquerware, metalwork, ceramics, textiles and sword-making. Lineage of Gold * Lineage of Silver revealed lesser-known techniques and traditions such as kirikane (a decorative technique used for Buddhist statues and paintings, using gold and silver leaf) and kinkarakami (a gilded embossed technique).
Guests were drawn to the textile, ceramics and the gold leaf works, and to objects which were crafted employing a particularly complex technique. Among these were the Kumihimo-Nara-gumi cords by Dōmyō. Among the many techniques used to create cords are twisting, braiding, weaving, and forms of concealed stitching.
Elsewhere, the embroidered obi belts by Kondaya Genbei also proved to be popular. Rooted in ancient traditions of binding the body and the Shinto concept of Yorishiro, the obi has been considered as a vessel for divine presence, and Kondaya Genbei preserves this legacy through innovative materials and artistry.
Alongside historical works, guests were also drawn to more contemporary pieces, such as the Remnant: Stone by Terumasa Ikeda. The ethereal work composed of shimmering shell inlays with delicate, laser-cut numbers and lines on ultra-thin lacquer surfaces blends traditional Japanese raden craftsmanship with futuristic, digital-inspired motifs.
Guests were treated to a range of Japanese culinary delicacies including kombu-cured yellowtail sashimi and caviar hosomaki sushi roll created by the renowned contemporary restaurant L'Abysse Paris, overseen by Yannick Alléno, a leading figure in modern French gastronomy, and Yasunari Okazaki, an innovative Japanese sushi chef.
The works were illuminated through an evocative light art installation by acclaimed lighting designers Akari-Lisa Ishii and Motoko Ishii, transformed the gallery space titled La Cathédrale and revealed the objects through a careful juxtaposition of shadow and atmosphere.
Masaya Kitao, Councillor, Cabinet Secretariat, gave a speech on behalf of the Government of Japan, saying: "JAPAN SUI COLLECTION is more than a showcase of exquisite creations. It is a journey to discover the beauty and elegance that lie hidden across Japan, and to bring new forms of value into being together with you. The traditional crafts and cuisine you see and experience today represent but a small part of that rich inheritance. The story of a Japanese craft truly begins when it is placed in the hands of someone who understands it. Each owner adds a new chapter to its history. In this way, the object itself can become a source of new value. It is also our responsibility to preserve and pass on the spirit and craftsmanship of these traditions, allowing them to resonate with other cultures and find new expressions of harmony without losing their essence."
Guests were captivated by a performance by renowned Japanese dancer Min Tanaka, known for his original dance works that explore the body and movement through improvisation.
The Sui Collection is an initiative of the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, which aims to present outstanding Japanese artistry and distinctive creations from across the country. https://japan-sui-collection.go.jp/

71% of financial institutions are converging detection technology, yet 86% report missed links between fraud and money laundering, finds global survey by Datos Insights and SAS
CARY, N.C., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial institutions are increasingly integrating their fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) systems, but intelligence and governance gaps remain. New fraud and AML convergence research from Datos Insights, commissioned by data and AI leader SAS, finds 86% report missed links between fraud activity and money laundering.
What did a global survey of fraud and financial crime executives reveal about the convergence of fraud and AML, commonly known as FRAML? Dive into the latest report from Datos Insights and SAS.
Fraud and AML Convergence: Closing the Speed Gap – based on a survey of 165 fraud and AML executives across 21 countries in seven global regions – examines the convergence of fraud prevention and AML compliance, commonly called FRAML. The report argues that real-time payments now move funds faster than institutions can connect their fraud and AML intelligence and intervene. Experts from Datos Insights, SAS and Amazon Web Services (AWS) will discuss the study's findings in a live "Future of FRAML" webinar on Nov. 2 (available later on demand).
"Fraud and AML teams can look at different pieces of the same risk and still miss the connection," said Serpil Hall, Strategic Advisor for Fraud and AML at Datos Insights. "Technology can help bridge those gaps, but technology alone is not the answer. The institutions making progress are also connecting data, case management, investigations and information sharing so they can see more of the risk in broader context and act sooner."
Shared infrastructure ≠ shared intelligence
Historically, banks' fraud and anti-money laundering units were not designed to operate as a unified function. Each answers to different regulations and runs on different legal clocks. Institutions are closing the gap where it's least disruptive: the technology. Meanwhile, changes that require people and process shifts lag behind. The result is connected systems but disconnected intelligence.
- 71% are actively converging fraud and AML detection and monitoring technology, but only 13% are doing the same for governance, policies and organizational structure.
- 72% run fraud and AML analytics on shared infrastructure but keep separate models and processes; just 1% report sharing data, models, infrastructure and governance across both functions.
- 87% describe their ability to build a unified view of customer risk across fraud and AML as partial, with significant gaps.
Silos remain the biggest barrier to greater alignment between fraud and AML. Nearly 9 in 10 (88%) institutions rate organizational silos, including separate reporting lines, as a primary or major barrier, ahead of technology limitations (73%) and data governance and quality issues (70%).
The strain is felt in day-to-day operations, too: 64% cite legacy technology among their biggest internal challenges, while 63% call out high false-positive rates.
Inside the speed gap: real-time payments, next-day detection
Fraud systems score transactions in milliseconds, while AML monitoring typically runs after the fact, often in overnight batches. As real-time payments become the norm, the margin between the two is fading.
Nearly three-quarters of institutions (73%) say their fraud and AML teams share data often or always during active investigations. That figure drops to just 17% for automated monitoring – the layer that works without someone needing to notice a problem first. The result is often a connection made after an investigation is initiated rather than one flagged automatically before money moves.
Operating separately carries measurable consequences, too, including duplicate alerts or cases, cited by 81% of institutions, and higher operating costs from duplicated teams or technology (71%).
"Financial crime convergence is a risk problem, not just a compliance exercise," said Stu Bradley, Senior Vice President of Risk, Fraud and Compliance Solutions at SAS. "Regulators will increasingly expect institutions to identify and prevent illicit behavior before the money laundering even starts. That's only possible when fraud and AML are working from the same strategic playbook and sharing data up front."
FRAML, from concept to market reality
The research findings arrive as fraud and AML convergence evolves from a long-discussed industry concept into a real-world operating model. Urgency is increasing as AI-charged scams, deepfakes, mule networks and real-time payments further blur traditional boundaries between fraud and money laundering.
"Many of the banks I speak with are already sharing data or exploring common case management, with the aim of getting fraud and AML working closer to real time," added Hall.
For institutions still early in the process, the report outlines practical first steps, such as connecting their existing fraud and financial crime compliance solutions rather than replacing them.
"Institutions don't have to rip and replace their entire financial crime ecosystem to make progress," said SAS' Bradley. "Modernize step by step. Start with the risks that matter most, strengthen data sharing across the monitoring lifecycle and ensure a shared investigative environment."
To explore how institutions can put the report's findings into practice, AWS and Datos Insights will join SAS for the live webinar Breaking the Silos: What Global Banks Reveal About the Future of FRAML on Nov. 2 at 10 a.m. EST / 4 p.m. CET, with on-demand viewing to follow.
Experts will discuss how banks are approaching fraud and AML convergence, the barriers slowing progress, and where data, analytics and AI can help institutions connect signals and identify financial crime earlier.
