    ,

    Another Kono Takashi exhibition, this time at the National Museum of Modern Art. Kono Takashi is known for his eye-catching poster for the Sapporo Winter Olympic Games 1972, and such images as a huge fish bearing the pattern of the American flag in front of a small one with eyes that look like the Japanese…

  • Pastries as Design

    —

    ,

    As the REALTOKYO reviewer mentions, it’s too bad the pastries on display won’t be for sale. Old-established confectionery “Suetomi” is producing original sweets for each month of the year, and introduces the little artworks in an exhibition focusing on the aspect of design. For May, for example, there is the “Karagoromo” that appears in “Ise…

    I picked up this flyer at Pause last night, for a Shu-Thang Grafix exhibition called “Grand Touring Special.” It takes place in Kyoto, at the Sfera building, which is great because I’ll probably be heading to Kyoto early next year. It starts today, and ends January 30.

    The Logos Gallery in Shibuya is currently hosting a Mountain Mountain exhibition. I was there this afternoon, which is where I picked up the above flyer.
