Bon Pon

A few weeks ago I came across the fantastic Instagram account of bonpon511, which is in fact Bon and Pon (he’s Bon, she’s Pon), a couple in their 60s who share photos of impeccably coordinated outfits. They’re the cutest.

The Tattoos of Swery65

jpg

Swery65 (aka Hidetaka Suehiro) is a well-loved game designer (Deadly Premonitions) who has recently returned to his family roots of being a monk. What I didn’t know was the massive tattoo work he’s had done, which he reveals in this Instagram post. Read more about it in this Eurogamer post.

Update: Well, color me embarrassed. The full body “tattoo” you see in the photo was actually done through body painting, done for the shoot. It’s still an impressive piece of work.

Spooky Ryogoku

I quite like this shot shared by my friend Tatsuo on Instagram, of a mural he spotted in the Ryogoku area of Tokyo. He describes it as spooky, and it certainly has a creepy air to it.
