Mr. Narito Takeuchi is a glasses expert working at a frame factory for Sun Optical. He’s involved in making glasses from the very first design, and for everything from everyday dressy glasses to more artistic pairs. His work has been exhibited overseas and he has amassed a decent fan base. This activity allows you to order your very own personalized frames while talking to Mr. Takeuchi. Mr. Takeuchi is passionate about his craft, wanting nothing but to deliver his own glasses to people who want them. The activity allows you to enjoy a casual conversation with Mr. Takeuchi while you create your glasses together.
