    What, you haven’t heard about the new Y-3 + Muji collaboration? Oh, that’s cause Jesper is behind this new line, so exclusive that it’s limited to one pair of sneaks. See, when Jesper goes to a Muji, he doesn’t use the stamps with their intended tote bags, but tries to find a much better use…

    Remember this Graniph store in Ikebukuro that I mentioned back in May? I was walking through that area today, and was planning on stopping by only to see that it had closed. The shop in the nearby Parco seems to be doing quite well though.

    Comme des Garcons have a temporary shop/kiosk called PLAY BOX, pictured above (bigger picture here). The photo is by Jun, of LDK, who bought a polo shirt there just to get the PLAY shopping bag that comes with every purchase.

    While I was at SuperDeluxe last night for our presentation, I picked up this giant Uniqlo free paper for their upcoming NYC launch, which looks just terrific. Great binding, and nice graphics throughout — you really need to get this. I did see that they had a few unopened boxes of them at the Design…

    Today’s edition of THE JAPAN TIMES interviews the deputy manager of Ikebukuro’s Junkudo, “which boasts the largest floor space (nine-stories) of any bookstore in Japan.” This is the store I’m always referring to, as I live just a minute down the road from it.

    Gridskipper has a post up — not by me — with some good links on finding records stores in Tokyo. I’m thinking Patrick should also post an exhaustive listing of his favorite shops, since he’s always on the hunt, in order to keep his Tokyo Recohan online store stocked.

    I decided to treat myself to two new Graniph tees today, which you can see pictured above. The “Helvetica” one is probably the most classic Graniph tee there is, but I never had one, and figured I was due (also, it had pretty much disappeared from the shops for a while). Graniph recently renewed their…
