. While respecting its heritage, the company is making products for the present day.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but isn't Systema really painless?
South Kaw:Of course it doesn't hurt. Not at all. It's Systema, you know.
What is Systema all about?
South Kaw: It's a breathing technique. I regret that this is completely my fault, but in Japan, it has an image of being like a fighting method, but it is essentially like a health method. . It's about breathing, relaxing, correcting your posture, and so on. When you are nervous, taking a deep breath calms you down. It's a similar feeling. Also, I think it is very healthy to be punched, because it strengthens your bones (laughs). (Laughs.) I actually feel like I am getting stronger.
I think your body is well-trained and your clothes look good on you.
South Kaw: . maybe it's because I like niche martial arts from around the world, and that's what I've been learning.
. Speaking of Minamikawa, she is also famous for her love of fashion.
South Kaw: I began to pay attention to what I wore under the influence of my older sister. I am from the Kansai region, so I used to buy vintage clothes in the Ame-mura area or go to Minamihorie or Minami Senba in search of more mature fashions.
What kind of fashion do you like now?
South Kaw: I admire vintage clothes, but I like clothes made in a modern style. The quality of clothes made today is definitely higher than those made in the past. I feel a sense of romance when clothes are made with respect for the past, but in a way that fits the current era, and at the same time are of high quality.
In that sense, the "L.L.Bean Japan Edition" seems to fit your taste.
South Kaw: The brand has been around for a long time and is famous for its tote bags . You can often find them in used clothing stores. I thought it was great that they cherish such heritage while making products for today's market. At the same time, the functionality of an outdoor brand is also well thought out. Looking at the lineup of items, there are also items that can be worn with a more elegant look, and I found that attractive as well.
. This time, we have a vest and a knit from the collection to coordinate with the outfit.
South Kaw: I thought the knit might be too cute, but it blends in when I put it on. The size is nice and loose, too. The vest has a nice design and is perfectly functional. It is easy to coordinate and will be useful in many situations.
