Etsuzo Shitara founded the parent company, Beams, in 1976 in Harajuku, Tokyo. Originally a small shop modeled after a UCLA dorm room, it introduced American lifestyle goods to the Japanese market. The Beams Japan project emerged to curate domestic products, ranging from traditional pottery to modern apparel. It serves as a cultural bridge, documenting the evolution of Japanese design and its global influence within the broader context of international fashion history.
