Horiyoshi Worldwide Inc is pleased to announce the opening of the company's first Horiyoshi branded retail store located at 19 Connaught Street in London, UK. The new store carries a complete range of women's and men's clothing and accessories and is designed to be a focal point of its growing international presence.

The store's design is meant to capture the delicate balance between the company's trend setting fashions and counter culture appeal which is the essence of the Horiyoshi brand. The new Horiyoshi store serves as a model for the development of additional stores in locations that management feels are strategic to the evolution of Horiyoshi Worldwide.

Mitsuo Kojima, President of Horiyoshi Worldwide, Inc. said this about the new store opening, "We are extremely pleased with the look and feel of our new store and have dedicated a great deal of thought to how the location integrates into our overall vision for the brand.

We feel the location serves as an inflection point that offers close proximity to European fashion centers, which are influential in our design process, while also allowing us to exploit the high level of brand recognition we have in the UK.

As I have stated in the past our goal is to expand our base in Europe, build our presence in the United States and introduce the brand to the many markets we have targeted in Asia. We are committed to implementing this strategy and the new store in London is an integral part of the plan".

Dawn Green, Commercial Director of Horiyoshi Worldwide, Inc. had this to say about the new Horiyoshi retail store, "I am personally gratified to have been an important member of the team that created our first retail store.

My close colleagues and I were in a unique position to appreciate the importance of the UK and Europe to Horiyoshi while understanding the imagery and feel that would resonate with the public.

I believe this store has the opportunity to capture the imagination of the public and will serve not only as a model for additional stores but can be copied in any retail setting. We have seen great enthusiasm regarding our new location and everyone is excited about the development of the Horiyoshi brand".

Horiyoshi Worldwide Inc., designs, manufactures, and markets Horiyoshi the Third - a luxury clothing and accessories product line based on the artistry of World renowned Japanese Tattoo Artist, Yoshihito Nakano (Horiyoshi III).
