My looking back in last 10 years, one of “great growing” exhibitors must be Ross Kuhn’s “Bigfoot & Wildboy.” They have been constantly selling HIGH-LEVEL vintage items. They are also receiving high reputations among Japanese at Inspiration Tokyo as well. I wish to have more exhibitors like them. Russ, Thanks many always and see you […]
I just got a nice photo from Shigeta-san. Yes, first 150 customers in the morning of 4/10 will get a FREE laundry bag at the ticket counter! This is very useful bag for your SENSITIVE clothing. Don’t miss this chance. Thanks many many again, Hiroko-san. See you soon !

In last 6 years, I also found another “new phenomenon”. My old friends (=exhibitors) are running the vintage business with their sons who I have known well at their kids times! Here is Freddie of “US Vintage” with his son! Wow..very nice smiles! I hope their family business will be growing more! Thanks always, Freddie! […]
In last 6 years, we got many of “young vintage dealers” i! It’s very nice thing for our vintage industry! “Black State Co.” is one of the “very fast growing young exhibitors.” Now they have 10×20 space. Very very good! I hope that they will be much more bigger in next 5-10 years!! Thanks many […]
Now I am also doing the “Party” setup jobs as well. Yes, as schedule “Freenote Cloth LA Store” (near Downtown LA) will have a KICK-OFF party on 7-10pm on 4/10/2026! They will prepare beer, wine…and live music! Don’t miss such fun party! Thanks so so much, Andrew!
I just got a beautiful photo from Rie-san (“Shabon”,our regular exhibitor.) Very very nice! As you know, Inspiration show is based on “Men’s Vintage Show,” but fortunately I have got many “Ladies Vintage exhibitors”. This is one of big reasons why my show has been surviving for 17 years! Vintage boutique “Shabon” is located on […]
Rodrigo of “CRAZYLOKO Vintage” from Toronto, Canada—Before Pandemic, I often have met Rodrigo and his wife at many vintage shows, but they comes from Canada. Wow, How often they travel international. He said “mostly every month!” Great! Traveling is one most fun things for worldwide vintage dealers. OK, see you soon, Rodrigo! Thanks many always!
Mr & Mrs Ooe have been our regular exhibitors (LA& Tokyo both) for last several years. After our LA show, they are always traveling to many US cities to research old denim histories. As I know, the Ooe-san is one of most enjoyable exhibitors through my shows. You know “Enjoy yourself” is the most important […]
