Today I wandered over to Cherry's Company to meet Kurosu-san and check out the beautiful motorcycle he is building for the Mooneyes show. This is the first time I have met Kurosu-san or seen any of his creations in person and wow was I impressed. He is is a great designer and craftsman as well as a hell of a nice guy. The details on his new creation are freaking amazing!
While I was there Kurosu-san's painter Endo-san from Nomad Concept, was designing the paint for the new bike with him. All I can say is it's going to be sexy as hell!
The shop was very well outfitted with all the right tools packed into your typical Tokyo style work shop. Small yet well organized, clean, and not an inch to spare... what more could you want!?
Kurosu-sans apprentice / employee Yuki-san is a very lucky lady. Not only does she get to work and learn with Kurosu-sensei but she also is getting a bike specially designed and built by him on which she is honing her craft. Just look at the beautiful fabricated gusset at the top of the seat stays... WOW!
I have always been impressed by the work of Cherry's Company and now that I have seen it up close and met Mr. Cherry himself I am more impressed than ever.
I have some spare time on my hands these days so I hope I will be able to give them a hand or two to prepare for the Mooneyes Yokohama show.
hipsters.
