I SOMETIMES FEEL THAT I’M REPEATING MYSELF. & THAT BOTHERS ME. AFTER MANY YEARS, I MADE A NEW WAY FOR MYSELF TO DESIGN THINGS & I BECAME MY OWN COMPETITOR. IT’S HARD TO BEAR. I KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING SOUNDS SILLY. BUT BEING A DESIGNER MEANS THAT YOU GET WELL-KNOWN, YOU SUCCEED IN YOUR BUSINESS, YET GET TO BE A GREAT CREATOR. IT’S VERY HARD TO COPE WITH. YOU HAVE TO BE A PART OF THIS WORLD & AT THE SAME TIME KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. ONE QUESTION CONSTANTLY PICKS AT MY BRAIN; AFTER THIS, WHAT CAN I OFFER THAT’S NEW? BUT I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SIDE OF MY LIFE. IT TOOK ME TEN YEARS TO UNDERSTAND THIS. / YOHJI YAMAMOTO
