First, gain recognition on site (New York) ... 2. With this recognition as my parachute, I will make my landing back in Japan ... 3. Back overseas, into the fray." So how far does he think he has progressed in his quest? Murakami relaxes for a moment, looks around and grins, as if he's got a secret. "I think that Louis Vuitton is a big part of accomplishing...
