Lovely short about sword maker Korehira Watanabe. I have quite amount of gratitude for this short, as I have been a consummate a fan of the remaining swordsmiths in Japan. I have a small but thorough library here at home with many of these works, and it's likely each will out last all of us by hundreds of years.

Thank You Etsy.

I don't have heroes persay, buy i really do respect yamamoto-san's intensity quite a bit. he also has a bit of a "black" sense of humour it seems, which doesn't always come out in interviews.

from iD:

Storming London with exhibitions at The Wapping Project and The V&A and opening his first UK Y-3 store earlier, Mr Yamamoto has now been immortalised in a documentary directed by Theodore Stanley, that gives a glimpse into the mind of one of the industry's most mysterious masters. The release of 'This Is My Dream' is another tick on the list of celebrations marking Yohji's thirty years at the top of the industry. To find out more about the man behind the Ys and his relationship with i-D be sure to scoop a copy of The Livin' Loud Issue asap!

'Yohji Yamamoto' at the V&A and 'Yohji Making Waves' at The Wapping Project continues to run until 10th July 2011.
