Join a shoe designer on a journey through Nippori’s textile district to discover elegant Japanese materials for crafting.

Nippori Senji Street, with its more than 100-year history and over 80 specialist shops packed into a stretch of just about 1 kilometre, is the true heart of Tokyo’s fashion industry. Rather than Tokyo as a glamorous tourist destination, this is a place where you can experience the down-to-earth, creative energy of the artisans who form the backbone of Japanese fashion. As you walk through this area, you can truly experience the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.

About me

As a professional shoe designer, I explore the 'relationship between material and form' on a daily basis. For me, fabric and leather are not just materials; they are essential elements that underpin the structure of a product. Over many years, I have explored every corner of Nippori, training my eye to discover materials that combine durability with Japanese aesthetics. On this tour, I will help guests discover their own creative treasures by exploring the city through the lens of a designer.
