    , , ,

    Object Fetish is probably something that would interest a lot of people who read this site (or basically anyone who uses Superfuture on a regular basis), and they’re currently looking for some people to work as photographers and personal shoppers. Here are two listings that might interest some of you Tokyo-based fashion/design freaks: Studioesque photographer…

  • Here Comes the Judge

    ,

    Big congrats go out to our favorite Tokyo-based book designer — I’m talking of course of Chin Music Press‘ Craig Mod — for having been selected as a judge for this year’s edition of the ADC (Art Directors Club) Awards. Let the love for CMP spread, and spread…

  • Mu Art Cafe

    , , ,

    I forgot to mention it in my Roppongi travelogue the other day, but I also spotted this place called Mu Art Cafe in the TV Asahi building (it’s on the street side). There’s a small cafe area inside, but most of the space is taken up by various artworks for sale. A small window-side corridor…

  • Yuki/Kissui Through the Years

    —

    I think it’s always interesting to take a look back at the things that contributed to your current output (I really should think about putting back a lot of my old stuff online again, like the GEISHA ezine and stuff), and with that in mind, I thought it was great to see Yuki (Kissui.net) take…

  • An Afternoon in Roppongi

    —

    Yesterday I managed to get out of my futon (something that’s been extremely difficult with the recent cold spell) and made it out to Roppongi, or more specifically Roppongi Hills, to meet up with Jim Frederick, TIME magazine’s Tokyo bureau chief and co-author of the recent Charles Jenkins autobiography (which is still only available in…
