    Absolutely stunning poster of the Tokyo railway system by Korean designer Zero Per Zero, that acts as a map and a calendar. I’ve seen the full-size version of last year’s edition — it hangs at the AQ offices — and it looks even better when seen up close. You can purchase it online through White…

    Curious to see what the interior of Reed Space in Tokyo looks like? Dezeen posts an extended gallery. The design is by Upsetters Architects. Update: Thank you Paul for reminding us that, yes, Reed Space in Tokyo actually closed last year.

    One bright effect from the recession: cycling in Japan is on the rise. The Y’s Road shop mentioned in the article is my regular bike shop.

    Studio 360 spent some time in Japan, resulting in a very entertaining podcast — there are also video bits on the site — that covers a few cultural points of interest.

    I don’t tend to go to networking events — I actually never do — but last Friday I dragged CheapyD with me to Danny Choo and Andrew Shuttleworth‘s CGM 2 event in Aoyama, and ended up having a pretty good time. The event was held at a promotional cafe for Fiat, and business was of…

    This month marks the fifth anniversary of Cafe Pause, and one of the things we did to help mark the occasion was to create an original tea blend for the cafe — well, two actually, one is regular tea, the other is a herbal blend. Five labels were created by five friends of the cafe:…
