    Another chance to catch some more works from Isamu Noguchi.

    I featured Toshio Iwai’s Tenori-On (pictured in this post) in the first edition of my “On Design” column, and it’s great to see an event which will include the device.

    My Tokyo Design Week article that appeared in today’s edition of THE JAPAN TIMES (in the Arts section) is now available online.
