    I quite like the Muji Xmas 2008 catalog: ultra-compact — but thick — this year. It includes 124 gift items.

    Was out in Shibuya yesterday with my friend CheapyD, and he brought me to Pakutch where I was treated to the Tower Burger pictured above. It’s actually not as gigantic as it may appear in the photo, and was delicious.

    A few photos from last Friday’s opening for Mika Ninagawa‘s new “Earthly Flowers, Heavenly Colors” exhibition, which opened on Saturday at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery. It’s a great show, and I definitely recommend everyone go see it. Below, the artist herself, posing in my favorite room while the show was still in preparation.
