This book is a collection of photographs of dandyism and the tailored style as conveyed by 170 Japanese men who defined their times through styles all their own. Roughly a century and a half has passed since Western-style clothing was first introduced to Japan, and I want the world to see the fantastic ways that Japanese people have deepened this tradition and incorporated it into their everyday lives.
