Dear Diane and Shaded Viewers,
Each time I am at Pitti Uomo I make sure to stop by the tiny table of Eiichi Katsukawa and admire his footwear, handmade in Tokyo. Katsukawa learned shoe-making in England where he was an apprentice to Paul Harnden. The construction of his footwear is impeccable and I love the treatments, especially the shaved leather.
Best,
Eugene
