Shinkansen & Love

Shinkansen & Love

Something I spotted a few weeks ago (forgot to post it): Shinkansen & Love, a fashion magazine themed on the Shinkansen. Basically, fashions to ride the Shinkansen in. It’s actually well photographed, and is from Infas (Studio Voice).

Hope that Tokyo Design Week fatigue won’t stop you from coming!

Update: Just want to thank everyone for coming! I’ll post the list of participants before the end of the week.

A few photos from last Friday’s opening for Mika Ninagawa‘s new “Earthly Flowers, Heavenly Colors” exhibition, which opened on Saturday at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery. It’s a great show, and I definitely recommend everyone go see it.

Arcade Mania in Metropolis

In case you missed it, a few excerpts from Arcade Mania appeared in last week’s issue of Metropolis (760), and can be read online here.

As previously mentioned, the book is already out in Japan, and can be ordered from a few places (you’ll find links on the book’s official site). The same edition comes out in the rest of the work in January.

Audrey and Cornelius at the United Bamboo party, with Cornelius looking much happier than he did when he posed with me — the company was better, I guess.

Jesper Is PKN

I feel really bad — I had to miss Jesper‘s PechaKucha Night presentation last night because of all the design events/parties happening. It does look like he had the party going on.
