  • Casa Brutus 59

    The new issue of CASA BRUTUS (59) is also out, and it’s a bilingual one. The cover feature “My Home 2005” looks at building or remaking your home, a subject that seems to be popping up everywhere lately (probably to do with the new property laws that make it a more attractive option). I want…

  • ART iT 3.1

    The new issue of ART iT (Vol. 3 No. 1) is out. The cover feature: What IS “media art”?

  • Massage 3

    I also picked up the new issue of MASSAGE (3). Haven’t had time to read it yet, but it’s basically the same format, except that it now looks like a regular tabloid newspaper (no more glossy paper).

The whole issue is themed around the recently re-launched MoMA in New York. For a good story on the Taniguchi Yoshio designed update, have a…

  • Some Magazine Reading

    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…

  • Saizou

    Marxy tells us a bit about the magazine Saizou, which I’d never seen before. Damn, must kick my kanji studying into high gear!

    Marxy takes a look at the new magazine TOKYO GRAFFITI. You should also have a look at the history of Shibuya-kei he’s been chronicling. Here are direct links to part 1 and part 2. Stay tuned for part 3.
