goro’s
髙橋吾郎（以下ゴローさん）は10代から革に彫刻を施す才能を発揮し、1956年、東京の駒込でレザークラフト「goro’s」（ゴローズ）を設立。その歴史をスタート。
’60年代はベルト、バッグなどを中心にレザーカービングを施した革製品を数多く手がけ、’60年代後半よりオリジナルの真鍮製バックルや金具などの製作を開始。アトリエを構えていた南青山のセントラルアパート２Fで、その後の世界をリードする多くのファッションデザイナーやアーティストとも交流が拡がる中、シルバーアクセサリーやレザークラフトの創作活動に没頭する日々を過ごすようになっていきます。
1972年、表参道にショップ「goro’s」をオープン。かねてからアメリカのインディアン文化に傾倒し、幾度となくアメリカへの旅を繰り返していたゴローさんは、サウスダコタ州を拠点とするラコタ族と出会います。その後、厳粛なネーミングセレモニーによって、インディアンネーム「イエロー イーグル」を拝受。さらに1979年、ラコタ族の神聖な儀式「サンダンス」を受けるまでの信頼関係を結び、日本人初のインディアンになったのです。
’70年代当時『セレモニーで使ったイーグルのフェザーは、本物だから持ち歩けない。ならば、自分の手で、シルバーで作ろう』と考えたことが、その後「goro’s」の代名詞となるシルバーのフェザー誕生に結びつきました。
イーグルはインディアンネーム「イエロー イーグル」であり、ゴローさんにとって最も大切な創造の中心的存在のモチーフ。その後も独自に生み出した手法とアイデアによって、オリジナルのイーグルのペンダントやフェザーなど数々の代表作を世に送り続けてきた、ライフワークの原点のひとつなのです
ゴローさんと「goro’s」は、日本におけるインディアンジュエリーの草分け的存在であり、これまで“のれん分け”をした事実はありません。また、彼の魂といえる「goro’s」の作品群は他の誰にも継承することもなく、創業時よりゴローさんが「ゴローズファミリー」と呼び、信頼していた代々のゴローズスタッフと家族に支えられ、しっかりと守られ続けてきました。
表参道の「goro’s」は、ゴローさんの夢やスピリットが詰まった店舗であり、40年以上の歴史を刻み続ける、世界でただ一つの空間。現在も、ゴローさんのスピリットと出会えることを楽しみに、多くのファンが国内・海外から訪れています。
＊ 「goro’s」のショップは、東京の原宿/表参道の一店舗のみ。支店や卸し、他 「goro’s」の関連店舗、また正規取扱いのある店舗、「goro’s」公認の弟子による店舗等も一切ありません。インターネット等で見られる、模倣品・偽造品には充分お気をつけください。

友人、家族が語るゴローさんとの逸話。
ゴローズの原点である革ベルトから、その歴史を物語るアクセサリーやバッグなどを紹介。
From his teenage years Goro Takahashi displayed his skill in leather carving. Establishing goro’s, in 1956 he began by selling his belts in Tokyo’s Komagome district. Here is where the story began.
In the ’60s he continued to produce many leather goods, mainly bags and belts with carved leather designs, and in the late ’60s designed the brass buckles and latches as well.
Goro set up an atelier on the second floor of Central Apartment building in Minami Aoyama, and it was here that many leading fashion designers and artists, attracted to his charisma and workmanship, would come to hang out, soaking up the vibes and deepening the friendship. During this period he turned his hand to silverwork, tirelessly working on creations of leatherworks embellished with silver accessories.
In 1972 he established his shop goro’s on Omote-Sando Street. For some time, he had been drawn to the Native American culture, and would make frequent visits to the States, ultimately connecting with the Lakota tribe of South Dakota. Following, in a sacred naming ceremony, he was to receive the name ‘Yellow Eagle’ and was trusted sufficiently to later be permitted to dance in one of the most sacred of Lakota Ceremonies, the Sundance, a first for a Japanese national at that time.
In the 1970s, aware of the sacredness of eagle feathers which are used in ceremony and not carried in daily life, and with a desire to carry one at all times, Goro was inspired to create an image of one through his craft. This marked the birth of the ‘silver feather’ that was to become synonymous with goro’s.
For Goro the eagle motifs were precious, they had connection with his given name Yellow Eagle and were a central theme for him. Throughout his business and personal life he used unique and self-developed production methods, as well as traditional Navajo techniques to create original eagle and feather pendants, as well as numerous masterpiece items such as conchos, buckles, rings, and bracelets. This was his life’s work.
Goro was a trailblaizer. Indian Jewellery had not been shown in Japan previously. Furthermore, the crafted works at goro’s which you could say are permeated with his spirit, were never passed on to any other business. Instead, since the shop’s foundation, the goro’s family (so named by him, made up of several generations of his family and trusted staff members) have continued to protect and support his works and legacy.
The Omote-Sando shop goro’s, imprinted with more than 40 years of history, is imbued with Goro’s dreams and spirit; it is the only such space in the world. Today,
many fans from Japan and overseas visit to experience the spirit of Yellow Eagle.
*Please note that there is only one “goro’s” shop. Located on Omote-Sando Street in Harajuku, Tokyo; it is the only authentic shop that Goro established. There are absolutely NO affiliates or associated shops, or authorized retailers, or associated shops run by ‘official apprentices.’
Please beware of fakes and inferior copies advertised on the internet.
