While pursuing the purity of the spirit of ‘dressing up’ with a fashion expression filled with nostalgia and humor, and on occasion, ironical representations of a world relentlessly battered by frequent disasters, conflicts, pandemics and social division, Yamagata continues to have an impact on us that extends beyond the realm of fashion.

In this exhibition, the story of Yamagata’s ongoing creative journey is presented through the interweaving of the various meanings of “coco” (here) in Yamagata’s fashion expression to date in six chapters that occupy the entire Arts Maebashi building, a former commercial facility that has been converted into an art museum.
