@ken.kataokaAbout
I craft fully handmade gentlemen's shoes in my workshop in Tokyo, Japan. My craft is guided by three ideals: "Harmonious form," "Neat edges," and "Construction built to last." On this channel, I share the process of realizing these ideals through traditional techniques—hand-lasting, hand-welting, and hand-sewing.

Video Description
The video shows the "How." The letters explain the "Why." On YouTube, I work in silence. In my letters, I put into words the quiet reasoning behind the craft—thoughts on leather, tools, and ideal forms. Receive the Letter: https://kenkataoka.com/letter
