  • This Week in Magazines

    —

    You could pick up the new issue of IDEA (322) for the works of Otl Aicher or Osaka-based Helmut Schmid, but what made me pick up a copy — I don’t usually buy IDEA because of the high 3000 yen cover price — is their “Journal Culture” feature. It’s terrific coverage of the magazine scene,…

  • OK Fred 9

    —

    A new issue of OK FRED (9) is out, in which they celebrate all “The Mamas and the Papas” out there. My contribution to the issue is the return of my “Sekai no Omiseyasan” column, in which I cover a few spots in Nakameguro. You’ll also find an old picture of my parents on the…

  • This Week in Magazines

    —

    The new PEN (197) is a rather nice issue — oh, and nevermind that I appear in it — with its “Tokyo Map 2007” feature that examines 8 areas in Tokyo, with some suggestions on what to check out in each. The places covered are: Roppongi, Shimokitazawa, Marunouchi, Ningyocho, Ginza, Gakugeidaigaku, Shinjuku 3-Chome, and Futako-Tamagawa.…

  • Atmosphere 4

    —

    After another long hiatus (or I guess the magazine is now just planned as occasional release), a new issue of GAS‘ ATMOSPHERE (4) will be out at the end of the week.

  • We Love Adult Women

    —

    Marxy takes a look at the current issue of BRUTUS (615) and their feature that celebrates the adult woman, and dwells on what it means. I’ll have a new edition of my “This Week in Magazines” series up later today.

  • Work in Azure

    , ,

    I have a piece on the Japanese unit PD Design (on their Green Day product line) in the current issue (May) of Canadian design magazine AZURE, and also covered Swedish unit Front (on their “Sketch Furniture” work/exhibition) in the previous issue (March/April). This is my first time getting published in Canada, my home country, so…

  • Appearance in PEN

    —

    ,

    I mentioned a while back being interviewed and photographed by PEN, and the issue with the photo just came out. It’s their “Tokyo Map 2007” issue (197), and my piece appears in Rough Guide editor/writer Simon Richmond’s picks of favorite spots in Tokyo — Cafe Pause gets mentioned, hence my inclusion. It’s rather nice seeing…

  • ART iT 15

    —

    A new issue of ART iT (15) is out, covering this summer’s Venice Biennale. This issue is dedicated to the Venice Biennale that opens this June. Next to a feature introducing Cao Fei, a promising artist representing the young Chinese art scene, the issue contains comments from the first American in the role of total…
