SCROLL
Working vintage jeans I discovered a lot of misinformation online,
I knew it was wrong, so I wanted to create a well-researched informative book
- Yutaka, on his Levis collaboration collector’s book
-
What’s worth seeing:
- *TARO Exclusive: Privately guided tour with one of the most knowledgeable masters of vintage clothing and denim in the industry, Yutaka Fujihara. Visit Harajuku’s top vintage stores, meet its’ legendary buyers, and be updated on the newest collection of unique pieces.
- As Covid-19 safety measure, all of the above services are available remotely, as well
- Purchased merchandises can be shipped to your hotel or, globally
- Interpreter, private driver and babysitting service available for additional fee
-
What is it?
Yutaka is the man behind iconic Harajuku vintage and denim store BerBerJin. Hollywood celebrities, musicians, designers and denim hunters with an eye for the elusive make the pilgrimage to his store whenever they're in Japan.
His role in the international denim scene could be likened to somewhere between an art collector, carefully inspecting and valuing pieces us regular folk have no way of deciphering, and an archaeologist digging deep to document and share priceless long-forgotten denim relics bringing them back to life for the greater good.
Enjoy your walk with Yutaka, one of Taro’s close-knit collaborators -- a TAROjin, and a storyteller who will enlighten you with his dedication to vintage denim, and connect you to the ura-hara culture.
