About

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.
