A tripartite discussion about Period Features.

Beauty seen in the ambiguity of handwork. Masakatsu Tsumura, Hirofumi Kurino and Keiji Kaneko talk about PERIOD FEATURES.

There is a brand called "PERIOD FEATUERS," which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
Mr. Tsumura, who has worked as an editor, photographer, and designer, says that this is the first time he has been interviewed by the Japanese media. The trilogy will be led by Hirofumi Kurino, Senior Advisor to UNITED ARROWS, who has known Tsumura since before the brand was launched, and Keiji Kaneko, who has been buying "Period Features" since its early days.
What came to light through the discussion of Mr. Tsumura's background, thoughts, and manufacturing in India in the form of a trilogy was the absolute originality of this brand. Behind the brand's originality lies Mr. Tsumura's unique rut, which no one else can imitate.
