A four-part series on contemporary craftsmen in Tokyo in collaboration with culture and lifestyle publication, PEN

Shokunin: Shinichi Konno of Cherubim

Shinichi Konno, one of the world’s most revered bike builders, grants us privileged access into the deepest recesses of his mind and workspace.
Konno's fundamentalist and philosophical approach to his craft has garnered universal admiration the world over, and his progressive and eccentric designs have established the Cherubim brand as the gold standard in handmade steel bike frames.
