    I dropped by the hhstyle.com store in Harajuku yesterday, and happened on this exhibition for a product called Architexture (until March 6). It’s a collection of furoshiki by famous designers/architects (Kengo Kuma, Jun Aoki, Kazuyo Sejima, Hiroshi Naito, Takaharu + Yui Tezuka).

    The second episode of my Tokyo Boy podcast is now up. It was recorded yesterday at Nakano Broadway, as I was there to take some pictures to accompany my piece on Kubrick/Be@rbrick figures for PingMag (which will be online Monday I think).

    A picture I took a while back at the Spiral exhibition I talk about in the first episode of my Tokyo Boy podcast (and if you listened to the podcast in iTunes or on a color-screen iPod you saw this image as a chapter marker).

    It seems that the FeedBurner feed to the site had gone down after my update of WordPress (I think it had to do with the setting I used to redirect the feed produced by WP to the FeedBurner one). It’s back up now, and I do hope that you continue to use it as it…
