Kansai Yamamoto, who made clothes for the first time in 20 years to be sold at the "KANSAI YAMAMOTO POP UP STORE @ TOKYO Kaihoku" held at Isetan Shinjuku from the first business day of the year and appeared at a talk event at the store, also came to New York for Nipponista. His work is also featured on Nipponista.

Kansai also celebrated his 70th birthday in New York on February 8th. Nipponista members also celebrated his birthday with him! Kansai always interacts with people with passion. Happy birthday!

By the way, Kansai on this big cake looks a lot like him...

And so the night in New York grew late.
