Likewise, the Golden Age of television arrived some 20 years after TV was invented, around...
...next, Tsutsumi relies on advice from shop designers and sends staff members to Sapporo, Osaka and elsewhere for scouting reports on what the hippest of trendsetters are wearing. Tsutsumi himself does research in Shibuya, a Tokyo neighborhood popular with the teen crowd. By the time cutting-edge fashions appear in his shops, they're on their way to mass consumption...
