  • Tokyo Style in Stockholm

    —

    After three years of Swedish Style in Tokyo it’s next year time for Tokyo Style in Stockholm. I’m really looking forward to this. Update (16/08/13): This post was part of a week-long “Next Century Modern Blog” stint, by guest blogger Jesper Larsson.

  • Goods

    —

    Some more goods that were for sale in Nara near the Todai-ji temple. Basically all of Japan’s main pop culture artifacts in one stand.

  • New Solo Nara Yoshimoto Exhibit

    —

    The Tomio Koyama Gallery is hosting the first solo Nara Yoshimoto exhibit in 4 years. Sounds like something I need to attend, as up until now I’ve only seen a few works of his in group shows.

  • Bondi Books

    —

  • Colorful Deer

    —

    Nara is very famous for its deer, and so you can of course buy all sorts of deer merchandising. This was taken on the road leading to the huge Todai-ji temple, which you’ll be seeing in TB.Grafico entries this week.
