    Then take a trip to Kojima, the birthplace of Japanese denim and find out what goes into hand-crafting Momotaro's signature jeans.
    In Singapore, make a beeline for the Stiletto House in the eastern region. This curvy home with its stunning exterior columns is an imaginative display of artistry and a showcase for the homeowner's artwork.

    I own a pair of medium rise Monotaro jeans. The details are mind blowing and the texture of the denim is something most Americans have never experienced unfortunately. Truly wearable art!

    Hats off to the Japanese maintaining their traditional designs.
    The jeans would definitely come with a hefty price tag considering takes so long to manufacture one pair.
    Wow wow wow amazing house with excellent craftsmanship and design

      Honestly, those artisanal Japanese jeans are not for everyone. They look more or less the same as mass produced jeans like Levi's to the ordinary eyes. But those Japanese jeans are very often selvedge, non-stretch, all-cotton, raw or one-wash, not distressed and has all kinds of little details going into them. The price tag is hefty but so as the fabric (hard to find something below 12oz, except shorts which is great for summer). Needless to say, it is an acquired taste......(but they are still often sold out)
      P.S. proud owner of a pair of Momotaro shorts and Studio D'Artisan :)

      not many of them are doing it. few artisans still around. many towns become ghosttown due to low birth rate. don't expect these tradition to survive for long, many traditional houses have been torned down over the years.

    A "shokunin" means "craftsman". In Japan, shokunins are respected so much more than politicians, that's for sure.

    In Germany we call these roofs made out of straw a "Reetdach". Its nice to see this style of homes on the other side of the earth aswell.

    I love almost everything made in Japan. They do their best to make good quality products. They don't cut corners to sell at the lowest price. Problem is that it is hard to buy things made in Japan in US.
