Kachikan
KANJI: 価値観. PRONUNCIATION: かちかん.
MEANING: A personal values system (what you believe is important and unimportant).
Once you know what Kachikan means, you’ll start hearing it a lot. For example, if Sarah thinks that 100,00 yen is a decent amount to spend on dinner and drinks in a single night, and Geoff considers that a wasteful spending of a week’s worth of dinner money, those two people do not have good Kachikan. Their values are incompatible.
Chitose Abe of Sacai: “Obviously, I have so much respect for that company. But more than learning my trade as a designer or how to marry creativity with business, do you know the most important thing I learned from Comme des Garçons? How to catch when a new kachikan (personal value system) is born and how to express it through fashion.”
