Over the years, filming with the legendary Dora has been one of our most highly requested collaborations!!! So many of you have watched Dora on the ASMR Japan channel :)
If you aren’t familiar with Dora, his name is Yoshio Fujibayashi and he is 49 years old. He grew up in Iga city, a famous ninja town (a couple hours away from Kyoto).
Dora has been barbering for 29 years and established his shop, Barber 88, 25 years ago.
Inside Dora’s barbershop a cozy waiting area greets you, with shelves full of books, vintage cameras, and a typewriter…📚 You'll also notice the books with Kurt Cobain on the cover.
Dora made his barbershop “in the fashion of rock music.”🎸 He says, “I wanted to create a shop similar to a train station; I want people to get the feeling of stopping in a bookstore through a train station stop.”
He explains, “I want people to get the experience of taking a stop on their journey, they come in and relax, get a haircut and feel refreshed for their next stop of their journey.”
Dora is a fan of 90s grunge music which he says, “is a symbolism of my youth, especially the transition from a child to becoming an adult.” During junior high, he listened to a lot of British punk rock.
Then in high school Dora recalls, “I loved listening to 90s rock bands, like Nirvana, and I got into that kind of subculture. He was “infatuated with the atmosphere of that kind of music.”
He adds, “Even though I couldn’t understand the music, I understand the feelings coming from that music and it inspired the rebellious nature in myself.”
✨ Dora's life advice: “To appreciate being alive, because life is a rare and precious thing. People shouldn’t think that life is a guaranteed thing, because any day, even tomorrow, your life could end.”
If you are ever in Japan, Dora invites you to his barbershop! “I can’t speak English,” he says, “but I will make it worthwhile and make it a good experience for you and myself.”💈❤️
