TOKYO - Japanese fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto, considered a pioneer of the country's industry and known for his work with David Bowie, has died of leukaemia aged 76, his daughter announced on Monday .
He leapt to prominence with international shows from the 1970s onwards and won popular acclaim for his collaboration with Bowie, producing a series of outfits for the singer's Ziggy Stardust alter ego. Yamamoto's designs often incorporated elements from Japanese culture, and he famously dressed Bowie in a cape covered in Japanese kanji characters.His eye-catching designs, replete with saturated colours and striking motifs, set him apart from many of Japan's more minimalist fashion icons.But Yamamoto also argued that his work was rooted in a different but no less Japanese sensibility - the bold and unconventional aesthetics of Japanese medieval warlords.
He travelled with his two younger brothers - aged five and three - from Yokohama, next to Tokyo, to the far-flung southwestern province of Kochi.
