Yuichi Hanada

Yuichi Hanada may have the least settled job title of anyone in this database. Born in 1995, son of the former yokozuna Takanohana, he first became known as a shoemaker, then turned up on television, then released music. Our own record lists him as artisan, TV personality and singer, which is honest and not much help. The difficulty is obvious: when your father is that large a figure in Japanese public life, every door you walk through is assumed to have been opened for you, and nothing you make gets judged on its own terms. Knowing that and continuing to work in public anyway takes a particular kind of stubbornness. He started out with his hands, and my guess is that he ends up back there, in the one place where the object either holds up or it does not. He is not finished yet.
