In his thorough interview, Akamine shares his journey into a life spent in style, contemplates the classics, and decrees how the Japanese culture has fused with Western dress. Well worth a look or two.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Forthediscerningfew has closed down. For occasions like this, we luckily have The Internet Archive and its wonderful Wayback Machine which has saved a copy of the site in the state it was in eight years ago. The interview in English can be read in full.<\/p>\n<p>Says Akamine:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With beautiful things, it is all about learning to wait, being patient. People today, they don\u2019t want to give it time. But it is like love, it is like a relationship, it is like learning, like all the things we admire, it takes time. Anything that happens in the snap of a finger isn\u2019t good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120322101845\/http:\/\/forthediscerningfew.com\/2012\/03\/10\/interview-with-yukio-akamine\/\">http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120322101845\/http:\/\/forthediscerningfew.com\/2012\/03\/10\/interview-with-yukio-akamine\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 2012 was marked by FTDF&#8217;s Pierre-Antoine Levy and Virgile Mercier meeting with the Humphrey Bogart of Japan, Yukio Akamine. &#8230; <br \/><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/forthediscerningfews-interview-with-yukio-akamine\/\">keep reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[8,76,37,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arbiter-elegantiae","category-japanese-style","category-links","category-reading"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4383"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7721,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4383\/revisions\/7721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
