Intro
Minato Mirai, Kanagawa Prefecture. This is the story of a certain privately-owned hair salon.
The space, stripped of all excess decoration, was as cool and quiet as an art museum. The gray mortar spreading underfoot was perfectly smooth, and the vertical mirrors supported by thin steel frames sharply reflected the incandescent light.
