Says Nakamura speaks of this season’s “Dissertation On Product Individuality”:

We worked with an artisan to draw, not print, sketches that we had made, all done one by one by hand. There is fabric made from a collage of private photos. Embroidered messages to my wife. A hand-painted robe by a Kyo-yuzen artisan. Drawn by hand, and made by hand. A picture of my face, drawn by my wife. A drawing of my wife, done by me. How pure and open can I be with these private moments in my life? Through a variety of methods, I believe we were able to concretely express this seasons concept.
