    This year’s edition of the Milano Salone is almost upon us (April 18-23), and following are a few Japan-related showings to keep in mind.

    If you visit MUJI‘s store in Yurakucho these days, you’ll be greeted by the follow-up to their “Ki no Ie” pre-fab home, the new “Mado no Ie” (window house).

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. I think I need to further explain my feelings regarding Tokyo Midtown. From all the posts and pictures I was putting up, as well as this post for Gridskipper, I think a lot of you were getting the impression that I’m in love with the place, which isn’t the…

    This site has a review up for Patrick Macias‘ JAPANESE SCHOOLGIRL INFERNO.
