SOLAKZADE started in Osaka with the Okamoto brothers Tatsuya and Ryu. They have a stock of around 15,000 items which entirely consists of unused dead stock. They specialize in introducing exciting frames and lenses including the historical backgrounds such as shapes, details, material characteristics, politics, society and music from each generation.
There is a profound understanding in the background of each item through the purchasing method of digging up dead stock from old glasses shops, past makers and brokers around the world, obtaining the catalogues which lie dormant in these places and listening to the stories of the past.
