    I love POGURI, a one-page strip by Nakagawa Isami that appears in every issue of TOKYO WALKER. Remember to read from right to left.

    You know you want the new Brockmann Light Volume 02 Wild Animals series from Groovisions, and there’s no reason to fight the urge. Scanned from TOKYO WALKER.

    An ad from Sony in the latest issue of TOKYO WALKER (a bi-weekly city guide) advertising the big PS2 releases this holiday season. Pictured (clockwise from bottom left) are RACHET & CLANK 3, DRAGON QUEST VIII, GRAN TURISMO 4, METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER, TALES OF REBIRTH, and KESSEN III. It’s interesting to note…

    I’ve started playing around with my new scanner, and here’s the flyer I picked up at the Compound Cafe in Sangenjaya a few weeks ago. Reminds me that I’m due for another visit!

    I saw the Product Design Database making the link rounds a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been emailed so many times about it that I figure I should post something here. Yeah, it’s cool, it takes a look at classic Japanese product designs, and is conveniently listed by manufacturer (although a timeline would also…

    This afternoon I was at Muji Yurakucho, and saw that they’ve finally setup their Muji+Infill house display (pictured above left). From what I can tell, it’s actually for sale, and I so want one. How sweet it would be to have a bit of land on the outskirts of the city (somewhere like Kamakura or…

  • Scanning is Fun

    I ended up picking up a printer/scanner (the HP PSC 1315) while I was at the Apple Store. This means that I’ll finally be able to scan things from magazines, or flyers and the like, to post here. Should make for some nice posts, as I often find stuff that I’d like to show off,…

    Damn. I’m in Ginza right now (writing this at the Apple Store), and wasn’t able to see this month‘s GGG exhibition, missing it by two days. I got there and could see them working on next month’s show, ANOTHER SIDE OF AYAO YAMANA, 1720s-70s, starting December 1. While I’m here, I think I’m finally going…

    Just got back from Junkudo, where I was leafing through some magazines. The latest CASA BRUTUS looks at Japanese design hotels. I don’t think there was one featured spot where I would mind spending a night. Oh, to lead the life of the jet-setter… The new issue of PEN has a cover story on beautiful…
