Daniel Wakahisa wearing traditional Ainu costume

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I met Daniel Wakahisa on my last trip to Sao Paulo, he is Brazilian Japanese and back in Japan at the moment connecting with his roots and wanted to know if he would see me again this year at Sao Paulo fashion week. I was indeed invited to both Rio and Sao Paulo but unfortunately can not go because the dates do not work for me this time.
