    In a recent post, Robert takes through a nice tour of the Kanda/Jinbocho area. He’s got me wanting to go there now, especially to the Tokyo Random Walk design bookstore! And that Saboru cafe looks excellent (I think he’s mentioned once wanting to bring me there). In his words, “a great place to go and…

    Waste away the hours by having a look at Japanese designer Yoshimaru Shin’s superbly titled YOSHIRUMACHINE site. Seems like he’s involved in the organization of quite a few events, like a recent one for the band Tennis Coats (and their label Majikick), and an upcoming one (July 18) at Uplink Gallery for 360records’ Miroque.

    A while back I moblogged and blogged about going to the Danish Posters exhibit at the Ginza Graphic Gallery. It was quite nice, as you can tell by some of the pics here. Shots taken with the A5403CA mobile phone.

    Let’s celebrate the return of my iMac (and TB.Grafico) with a couple of shots of the Apple Store in Ginza. Shots taken with the A5403CA mobile phone. Update: Patrick lets us know that Towa Tei will be giving a talk there this Thursday (June24). It’s actually part of a SAL magazine event that “will introduce…

    I should maybe go have a look at this thing: “Propaganda 1904-1945: Between Modernism and Totalitarianism.” It’s at Todai’s University Museum, at the Hongo campus, so it would be easy enough to drop by next time I go there with Yuko. Admission is free. The ASAHI SHIMBUN has an article on the show.

    I got my copy of the SONIDO UZUMAKI compilation the other day (more info in my previous post), and am really enjoying it. I can’t really comment on my favorite artists/tracks as I’ve just been listening to it on my iPod (with my iMac’s HD being dead, it means I can’t really listen to music…

    If you happen to be in Shibuya before the end of the month, stop by the Parco Logos Gallery to have a look at the “Japan Avantgarde” posters they now have on display. I quite liked what I saw.
