Risa Sachiko Watanabe

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇯🇵 Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan
  • Since 1993
  • Japanese
I've worked in shoemaking since 1993. I learned from my aunt and passed what I could on to 1,490 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 19 years later for another job.
