  • ABC Shibuya

    —

    , ,

    I’ve just written a post on the new ABC (Aoyama Book Center) in Shibuya for Gridskipper (should be up later today or tomorrow), but I wanted to show the images I took. I dropped by yesterday to the store, located on the 6th floor of the big HMV in Shibuya, and have to say that…

  • Porter Mook

    ,

    Anyone who has seen me in public will probably know that I’m quite a fan of Porter bags from Yoshida Kaban — huh, and accessories — and so I just couldn’t help myself from grabbing the Porter mook pictured above (and can be ordered from Amazon Japan), which is basically just a catalogue of their…

    As with last year, CASA BRUTUS had set up shop at the Selan cafe on the way to the Jingu-Gaien grounds (where Tokyo Designer’s Week/100% Tokyo Design were being held), and they were selling past issues (as well as passing out their DAILY CASA BRUTUS editions), including copies of the recently released “The Complete Grand…

  • This Week in Magazines

    —

    The latest issue of PEN (187) tries to convince us that “All You Need Is Art,” and they do make a good case. The issue takes a look at a nice selection of artists, mostly Japanese — including Aya Takano, Yoshitomo Nara, Hisashi Tenmyouya, Tabaimo, Shinro Ohtake, Makoto Aida, and more — as well as…

  • Metropolis on Design

    , ,

    The new issue of METROPOLIS (657), out today, features a cover story on Tokyo Design Week, with a few highlights. You can read it online here (link expires after a week). Update: Oops, it was actually last week’s issue (I’m forgetting what day we are). Here’s a permanent link to the piece.

  • Kami-Robo in Giant Robot

    The new issue of GIANT ROBOT (44) has the full interview Lisa did with the creator of Kami-Robo, Tomohiro Yasui, which was the basis of the WIRED piece that appeared a few months back.
