I forgot to give my regular heads-up for my monthly “On Design” column, which appeared in yesterday’s edition of THE JAPAN TIMES. In it, I covered the SmartCaddie compact PC, the Bird shears from Kai, the An notebook series from KOKUYO and Dainippon Type Organization, and the Towering Pastel dishes from Nussha Japanware. You can read it online here (free registration required after a week).
