This time, in collaboration with "RAW TOKYO," a market where vintage select stores and other stores from all over Tokyo gather on the first Saturday and Sunday of every month, we propose revitalized designs that take a new perspective on vintage eyeglasses. Through style, this will be a place where visitors can experience the appeal of Japanese-made glasses from multiple perspectives and all at once.
The skills of Japanese eyeglass craftsmen are attracting attention from around the world as well. The fact that they are particular about where they are produced may be a sign that the eyeglass industry is finally reaching maturity. There will be an opening party at COMMUNE 2nd on Friday, the night before the event, so be sure to check the bottom of the page.
