Kaiki Yamanaka has had a remarkable career, winning the All Japan Junior Championship at 17 and serving as captain of Japan's national team twice, competing in world championships. After graduating from Kansai University, Yamanaka took his surfboard and camera to join the world tour, starting his journey as a creator, driven by the desire to share his experiences through photography and videography. His Tokyo exhibition last year, "TOKYO EXHIBITION", garnered significant attention, and his online salon, "Life Share Salon", now boasts 170 members. His artistic activities are expanding beyond his identity as a pro surfer.

Exhibition Content

In "Captured Thoughts", Yamanaka reflects on a year of travel, showcasing photos and written expressions of the scenery and emotions he encountered during that time. Additionally, the Dear_sir apparel collection, which mirrors the exhibition's worldview, has been expanded this year with even more refined products. The exhibition also features a collaboration with the coffee brand catea, offering a special Dear_sir blend for sale.

We invite you to enjoy the exhibition along with a cup of coffee in the carefully curated Dear_sir space. We look forward to welcoming you!
