    It’s always interesting to find out who is responsible for graphics that you’ve seen out and about, and so I liked finding out from this Canvas post that the graphic identity for Tokyo Designers Week 2012 (pictured, with more here, and that I very much remember seeing) was produced by Airside Nippon.

    I still haven’t gotten around to reading it, but here’s a feature from GQ on the fashion chain United Arrows, about it’s place in Japan and what comes next. I’ve always quite liked what’s on offer there, but it tends to cost more than I’m willing to spend on fashion (I tend to be more…

    What you see of this apartment complex designed by Eureka and Maru Architecture that’s portrayed in this video may appear utopic, but there’s still something quite soothing about the way of life it suggests. I def like all the red tops.

    I’m not quite sure if I’d actually want to wear one, but there’s something pretty neat about these commemorative jackets produced by Cave to celebrate the 2oth anniversary of its seminal shooter, Dodonpachi.

    My buddy Ian Lynam is simply one of the smartest people I know on this planet, and when he writes something, you should pay attention. His latest zine — which you can order online from his Wordshape webstore — acts as a guide to new graphic design graduates. I also highly recommend his Start Somewhere zine,…

    Nem is a fantastic artist who mainly draws pixel art. She just launched a Patreon, that you can check out here. As she explains, “I have social anxiety, so it is hard for me to do work outside,” and this is a way to try and bring in some extra income.

    The other day I mentioned Luis’s “Tokyo Interiors” prints on display in Shinjuku, and now the Electric Objects pieces are all available — looks like the device to run them is sold out at the moment though.

    There have been a lot of great posters promoting good manners in Tokyo transit over the years, and the latest series from Seibu Railways inspired by ukiyo-e is, well, quite inspired. See the rest of them in this Spoon & Tamago post.

    This video produced for the promotion of an app to manage the exchange of business cards (called Eight) is pretty mesmerizing to watch. Via Tokyo Soup.

    It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of AyaBambi, and so not only am I happy to see them in this video, but this is just an amazing example of projection mapping, to a degree I’ve never seen before. It was done using a new kind of projector called the DynaFlash *1, developed at Tokyo…
