Our fourth guest is visvim designer Hiroki Nakamura. By carrying on making things without compromise even as media and markets changed, visvim built a position of its own worldwide — these are its “ten years.” What was it that Hiroki Nakamura had been looking for?
honeyee 10th anniversary special Ten interviews in a row: no. 4, Hiroki Nakamura photo: Chikashi Suzuki interview: Tetsuya Suzuki text: Yusuke Matsuyama
—— I think visvim has changed a great deal over these ten years.
Nakamura "Has it? It's what I do every day, so I can't really tell. But when I go back to around when honeyee started, so much has happened that it doesn't feel like only ten years have passed."
—— For about five years from 2005, visvim was taking on all kinds of challenges as a brand. And at real speed.
Nakamura "I like to think I've been doing that the whole way through, right up to now (laughs). Living each moment as it comes is what matters."
—— Still, cast your mind back ten years. It was also when Japanese street brands were starting to draw attention globally, and visvim went at that head-on.
Nakamura "Even when I started the brand sixteen years ago, about half our dealers were overseas, so I never drew a line between domestic and international in my own head. Incidentally, 2005 was about a year after the shop opened."
—— It was at that shop opening that Kiyonaga spoke to you, and then Hiroshi got in touch — that's how honeyee began.
Nakamura "The speed at which information travels over the internet is very different before honeyee and after. The fashion market changed too."
—— In visvim's case, I feel the change came less from following those shifts in media and market than from deepening your own story.
Nakamura "I wonder (laughs). But as the speed of information changed, the way things get made and the way you approach the market must have changed too. When the brand started sixteen years ago, it was a matter of being introduced by someone at a shop you knew; now you put it on the internet and it's seen anywhere, straight away."
—— These days plenty of brands make craftsmanship and heritage part of their concept, but visvim got there first. You were rigorous about raising the density of the making earlier than anyone, and I suspect that feeling grew stronger in you around 2005.
Nakamura "As internet media developed and information moved faster, it became conspicuous that the people who share and resonate with our values exist beyond distance and region. The reach widened, the pie got bigger, more people said they liked it — so it's easier now than it used to be to make things with real conviction."
honeyee.mag vol. 5, feature: "The relationship between people and things"
—— I see. As the market widens, the sheer number of people who connect with it grows.
Nakamura "There was a period when geographical barriers were part of why Japanese making was good, I think. The internet produced the opposite phenomenon, and that in turn made some interesting things possible. I take it as a positive."
—— Once you insist on making what you want to make, you inevitably end up an international brand.
Nakamura "No — step back and look, and you're international wherever you are."
—— Or: if people abroad find you of their own accord, you end up international whether you meant to or not. It's a question of where you place your viewpoint.
Nakamura "Exactly. It's a matter of perspective. And within that, whether you can convey what you want to do to your customers."
—— Over these ten years, do you feel the precision and speed of communication with customers has increased?
Nakamura "It's precise, and it's faster. But as I said, there's no room left for the process where interesting things emerge out of time lags and Chinese whispers — so instead I move my own feet and make things that way. Finding what's interesting by moving around the world, if you like."
—— In the old days, the noise that crept in through the time lag was the good part.
Nakamura "It's precisely because there was physical, or informational, distance that businesses were born there."
—— I think visvim is a unique brand even globally. From where you stand, does it feel like you're simply doing the obvious — or are you conscious of deliberately doing something different from the existing fashion business?
Nakamura "I do try to stay focused on ourselves. It's not that other brands don't interest me, but if I look I get influenced, so I try not to take much in. I don't read magazines, I don't have a TV, I don't watch films. The internet I'm grateful for, because you can look at only what you're after."
—— Still, fashion has trends. Pronounced trends are hard to come by now, and I think we're down to rehashes of the past — but even so, do you never think about them?
Nakamura "As information develops, everyone conversely wakes up to themselves as individuals, so tastes diversify — and I think that's a good thing. I don't pay much attention to what's in fashion; picking it up while walking around town is about the right amount for what I put out."
—— For example, the lifestyle that spread out from the people around third-wave coffee is one such trend. Watching that, I get the feeling the times have finally caught up with visvim's way of being.
Nakamura "There may well be that current in industries like food. Organic supermarkets are increasing in Japan too. Maybe that's where the young creative people are."
—— Maybe — but my sense is that the world is heading toward visvim.
Nakamura "The internet has made it easy for small local shops with real conviction to sell all over the world. So if you take the market broadly, then even without adjusting yourself to the people around you, there'll be someone who connects with what you do."
—— Ten years ago, even if you'd argued that passionately, some people wouldn't have found it real. But it's become plainly real now, hasn't it.
Nakamura "I'd be glad if so. A visionary, is that it (laughs)."
—— I genuinely think so. It isn't that you just wanted to make good things — it's the result of having had a vision and a concept.
Nakamura "Well, but people think in all sorts of ways. For me it's enough that there are people who think what I make is good, and that it holds together on that. I can't be the only one who feels happy wearing it and using it."
—— Rather than making from a guess at what everyone will want, you start from what you want yourself.
Nakamura "Something I can feel happy about. The day I start to feel there's no point giving it this kind of meaning, I don't think I'll be able to make anything any more. Without that I can't do it."
—— But as long as you have that, you can keep going another ten, twenty years.
Nakamura "What I think is good might change, mind. That's what I take the designer's role to be — so whatever the world is doing, something I can feel happy about."
—— Again: I think it's been ten years in which the world became visvim-ified. And I think it will go on getting more so.
Nakamura "Visvim-ified (laughs). I don't know about that, but I want to keep doing what I believe in."
