Thanks for sharing your thoughts. OK, that's it, I need to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I've had it on my to-read list for a while, this has given me the push to just go and order it right now! (Is Lila: An Inquiry into Morals worth reading, too?)
Something tells me there is probably a specific Japanese term that articulates that sense of Quality you are talking about.
Thanks for pointing me the Miyashita article. The thing is that they are heavily influenced by distinctly non-Japanese youth culture and music. And if they, as you say, have lost that concern for Quality, I wonder if they are really carrying on that Japanese fashion designer tradition (Apart from them obviously being Japanese).
Another quote from the same article here.
"All my work, whether it’s in fashion or music, is about rebellion and not being conventional.’’
