In this month of November full of uncertainty and questions we got two good news from Japan:<\/p>\n

the Kyoto-based barber shop Higuchi set up the first window entirely dedicated to Antica Barbieria Colla (http:\/\/barberhiguchi.com\/journal\/<\/a>), and Kamisori Club, an exclusive barbers club at Barney\u2019s Tokyo, will be\u00a0 regularly using our product line for its services (https:\/\/www.kamisoriclub.co.jp\/it\/blogs\/info\/abcolla<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Yet nothing happens just by chance or luck and below, if you like, I am going to tell what led us to this happy moment.<\/p>\n

In September 2016 we took part for the first time to Pitti Fragranze in Florence, one of the most important international fair about perfumery.<\/p>\n

We spent three cheerful days meeting a lot of people interested in what we do: retailers, distributors and private customers.<\/p>\n

Back at the office, I got an email from a potential Japanese distributor, the first one of many that followed.<\/p>\n

Within three months we had already got three real collaboration proposals.<\/p>\n

As almost everything Antica Barbieria Colla has started during these years, also the contact with this culture began quite naively.<\/p>\n

I had always thought of Japan as a fascinating country, but actually didn\u2019t know much about it.<\/p>\n

In my mind the Japanese were nice people holding a camera in the \u201880s.<\/p>\n

I remember that when I was little some Japanese customer attended the shop, screaming oddly when hair was burnt; sometimes they came with Franco (Moschino), a great friend of my Franco (Bompieri), during the fashion week.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, in February 2017 I met for the first time the one who would have become our official distributor in the land of the rising sun: Mr. Onoda from Helios Holdings Ltd.<\/p>\n

Among all candidates, I chose him and his company because they also are a family business with two brothers carrying on their father\u2019s work, and because my instinct told me they were going to be careful and loyal partners.<\/p>\n

Thus we started negotiating our contract: phone calls, discussions, mediation efforts, unthinkable questions and requests that took months to figure out, which nowadays I know were due to purely cultural issues.<\/p>\n

The first fair in Tokyo was held in September 2017. I guess those days in Japan will always be one of the most exciting and wonderful gift life could give me (that was the time when I also got the coolest nickname ever: BompiSan).<\/p>\n

Japan is a country of great contrasts, but in my heart the Japanese will always be polite, respectful and sympathetic.<\/p>\n

In my entire life I have never felt at home like this, even if halfway around \u00a0the world, and above all I was proved I had made the right choice.<\/p>\n

Helios and its team turned out to be a solid, determined and strategic company that introduced us in the right places during our three years partnership.<\/p>\n

For its part, Antica Barbieria Colla showed to have what it takes to enter a world where traditions are sacred and its experience looks interesting and worthy in one of the most important and demanding market in the world.<\/p>\n

And so, in this strange year in which we have to constantly face fear and anguish, that kind land called Japan gave me a moment of peacefulness.<\/p>\n
