I was in Tokyo recently visiting some of our customers and spent a day with the people at Beams. I love the Beams + stores, they do a great job merchandising and offer a great variety of casual and rugged clothing. Here are some pictures from that day. You'll probably recognize some of our shoes. Thanks to Kenny, Taka and Alex for showing me around.

Also, check out Masa Sakurai's bags - Arts & Crafts (pictures included). The bags are great, he's not a bad tour guide either.
