PATREON PREVIEW - Die, Workwear! - Joe McReynolds and Emergent Tokyo
When bespoke shoemaker Seiji McCarthy chatted with Peter and Derek last year, he mentioned that he thinks it's much easier to make a living as a craftsperson in Tokyo because of the availability of cheap real estate. So when Joe McReynolds, co-author of the new book Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City, reached out to see if Peter and Derek wanted to chat about urban policy, they jumped at the chance. What makes Tokyo such a particularly good breeding ground for bespoke crafts? McReynolds suggests it's about more than culture—it's also about how we build cities.
