Goro Takahashi

Goro Takahashi (髙橋吾郎; June 29, 1939 – November 25, 2013), also known as Yellow Eagle, was a Japanese silversmith and leather craftsman renowned for his Native American–inspired works sold through his brand and store Goro's. Goro traveled extensively through the United States, where he learned silversmithing and immersed himself in Native American culture, spending time with the Oglala Lakota people to the point of being adopted by a Lakota family and becoming the first Japanese person to participate in a Sun Dance. Goro's jewelry achieved cult status in Japan and internationally, thanks in part to celebrities like Takuya Kimura, Eric Clapton, and John Mayer who wear and collect his work.
