Japan: the pearl and the avant-garde
Japan blends precious tradition with radical creation. Mikimoto, whose founder produced the first cultured pearl in 1893, still anchors Tokyo's Ginza, where its glass-faceted flagship reopened in 2017. The district is the country's luxury showcase, lined with the flagships of Chanel, Dior and Hermès and crowned by the 1932 Wako clock tower. Avant-garde houses Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto give Japanese design its global edge.
