    I couldn’t really let a day pass by without any mention of Mamma Gun, so I offer this pic of the main man behind the whole thing, Jesper Larsson, taken 2 days ago for a magazine article. He arrives in Tokyo today, and I’m sure my world is going to get turned upside down. Oh,…

    My JAPAN TIMES article covering the big four design events being held next week is now online. I will follow-up next month with a longer diary-style piece that will highlight the best (and maybe the worst) of what I’ll be taking in next week.

    And since I’m mentioning unusual events happening during next week’s design celebrations, how about some beauty improvements from the “Mystery of Beauty” team for free? From their “Beauty for Free!” site: According to our slogan “Beauty for free!!” we will provide various, unusual ways in order to improve your beauty instantly and free of charge.…

    Something I think you won’t want to miss during Tokyo Design Week: a French-Japanese food design exhibition called “Fresh Touch.” Sounds… delicious! It also reminds of the — saddly — now defunct EAT magazine. Catch it at Laune Galerie, November 2-6 (10:30-19:00).

    I wanted to clear things up, following some comments on the Jim Frederick involvement with the recently published Japanese Charles Jenkins autobiography. I checked with Jim, and KOKUHAKU is indeed the book he wrote with Jenkins. When the publisher asked if he wanted to be mentioned in the Japanese edition, he decided that it wasn’t…

    I went to my first Pecha Kucha Night at SuperDeluxe earlier tonight, and had a great time. I’ve never attended because I only get back home around 9 on Wednesdays, and with the event always starting at 7:30-8, I never figured it was worth going. But I had to meet some people about an article,…

    I promised the other day that I would give more details on how to order Mamma Gun t-shirts and Swedish Style Snapazoos, and so here goes. The Snapazoos (for more info on the Snapazoos, visit the official Laughtoys website) came in today, so are now available. They go for 1680 yen, and are yellow/blue (not…

    I know I’ve been harping on and on about our “Son of a Gun” birthday party, part of the Mamma Gun festivities, at Cafe Pause on November 5 — I will see you there, right? — but the event will end at 24:00, and so for those looking to prolong the evening, let me point…
