Produced during an era when Japanese optical craftsmanship had become the global benchmark for precision and durability, Kitami frames were sold primarily through independent opticians rather than major fashion retailers. While little official history of the brand survives today, vintage examples reflect the meticulous construction and understated design philosophy that made Japanese-made eyewear from this period so highly regarded among collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes an AZYR Specs case and microfiber cleaning cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitami","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53777761206456,"sku":"B626-68","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/8814\/4312\/files\/IMG_9741.jpg?v=1785428472","url":"https:\/\/azyrspecs.com\/products\/1980s-kitami-ks702-frames-dark-tortoise","provider":"AZYR Specs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
