In a small barbershop tucked away in a corner of Minato City, Tokyo,
I carry on the legacy of my grandfather and father as the fourth-generation barber.
While barbering may often be perceived as merely cutting and styling hair, it is, in truth, a profound craft built on mastery and deep trust with clients.
Among the many lessons I’ve learned, the ones from my father—the third-generation barber—have shaped me the most.
His anecdotes encapsulate the essence of barbering and its evolution over the years.
Although men today increasingly visit salons, I invite you to lend an ear to the tales of a barber.
