Will be interviewing Yamane-san (Hidehiko) soon. Anyone have anything specific you'd like me to ask or find out? Cheers, Dave

If anybody is interested in Samurai's organic Japan Cotton Project, I've just finished my article on it here. I hope some of you will find it enjoyable or informative. https://www.japanalogue.com/samurais-cotton-project/

Hey guys, I got a little over-ambitious this time 'round and put together what might be the biggest denim interview in history. Had to break the dang thing in two! I got in touch with everyone I could think of in the denim world here in Japan and asked them some questions about how they are dealing with the coronavirus situation, how it's affecting their companies, their towns, their families, and themselves. The response was larger than I had anticipated and, after a week straight of translating, eet ees done! Pretty heavyweight lineup if I may be so bold as to say so : Pure Blue Japan founder Kenichi Iwaya Iron Heart founder Shinichi Haraki Momotaro/Japan Blue COO (and son of founder) Katsu Manabe Samurai founder Toru Nogami Tanuki tactical magician Minoru Tanaka Full Count founder Miki Tsujita Resolute founder (and ex-Denime) Yoshiyuki Hayashi Okayama Denim founder Merv Sethi Graph Zero founder Tetsuya Suzuki Denimio founder Mahoto Harada Studio D'Artisan manager Yuji Tamanaha Cottle founder Toshiaki Watanabe TCB founder Hajime Inoue Hope some of you will find some enjoyment in it. Stay safe and take care! Denim Distancing: Japanese Denim and Covid-19
