David Bowie invited Japanese Fashion Designer, Hitoshi Hiroshi Yamamoto to design and choreograph both his "Ziggy Stardust," and "ALADDIN SANE" World Tours.
ONE OF KANSAI'S MOST STUNNING DESIGNS for Bowie, is the Kabuki Dress, which was worn on tour and has been photographed widely. 「デ ヴィッド・ボウイのステージ衣装を作って欲しい。」すでにイギリスでは人気を博していたデヴィッド・ボウイ、彼にとっては初めてとなるアメリカでのコン サート、そしてワールドツアー「ジギー・スターダスト」、「アラディン・セイン」両ツアーのためのステージ衣装を山本寛斎に手掛けて欲しいという依頼であ る。 歌舞伎の「引抜き」を応用した仕掛けが服には施してあり、コンサートでは一瞬にして下に着ている衣装 (ショルダーネックのニット) が現れた。
Born in 1944, Kansai is the first Japanese fashion designer to hold a collection show in London. His'71 London debut brought him international spotlight and a long friendship with artists, David Bowie, Elton John and Stevie Wonder.
Kansai's unique avant-garde fashion design won an overwhelming popularity throughout the world. After participating in '70 NY,'74 Paris Collection, Kansai launched "Boutique Kansai" in major cities around the world, including Paris, Milan, NY, Madrid, a true international fashion designer.
At the same time, Kansai constantly pushed the horizon of conventional fashion shows; unusual cast, bold and large scale stage sets expressing the wonderful strength of human energy became his hallmark.
Kansai chose to step beyond the framework of fashion designer, and into the field of live event producing.

RUSSIA", held in Moscow's Red Square in ‘93 drawing a crowd of 120,000, succeeding to be the largest scale event in the Red Square since the end of the WW2. In ‘95, Kansai‘s supershow, "Hello!

INDIA" drew in 50,000 crowd, was satellite broadcast to 54 nations from Nehru Stadium, New Delhi. The shows won an overwhelming support of the audience as the largest class events in each nation and an important contribution to international communication.
