japan :: tokyo :: general

[nicelynice]

Actually stopped by there today, good location and big sunny windows, but the coffee was just decent. I had their "steampunk," which I guess is like an aeropress, which I'm not a huge fan of to begin with, but was a really muted, thin tasting cup. Served in a cute double-walled glass, though, which the clientele of 30-year-old housewives seemed to like. A bit disorganized, might be better in a couple months when they pull it together a bit

 

The Pool is alright, better as a concept than an actual store - branded toilet paper probably the best buy. Worth stopping by if you've never seen anyone selling $200 hoodies out of an empty pool

it's supposed to be a small island close to Okayama which over the past decades attracted lot of artists who relocated there, giving the island unique vibe. Worth a day trip if you happen to be somewhere close to Osaka

[herpsky]

well, i guess you can also get artisanal 40oz object-dyed denim while u are at it

two birds with oooone stone

Brother of Kozue Akimoto stopped by my exhibition yesterday. He is assistant editor of Commons & Sense Man magazine. One step closer to meeting Kozue, lol.

[herpsky]

Congrats. I really liked the collection! 

[djrajio]

Thanks man! It's slowly getting buzz.

Okayama is pretty dope. I did Benessee and thought it was def worth it. If you're a photography nerd, you can climb up to where the cell/sat tower shit is, and see EVERYTHING --  I was a bit stir crazy as theres nothing to do at night. Food/booze options are limited. 

 

Skip lee ufan -- it sucks. Ando museum is pretty tiny. (But I happened to meet him there) Most of the 'cool art shit' is not really as cool as the outdoor pieces + subtropical island vibe. 

 

If I was coming from tokyo, I'd rather going to Shimoda and drink beers beers beers though.

[Japandroid]

recommended clubs in Tokyo? Preferably hip-hop, rnb, rap-esque type places.

[herpsky]

VUENOS!

Jesus christ. 

 

There are so many horrible horrible men's labels in Japan that somehow get buyers to pick up their crap.

What a train wreck.

 

Blatant inspiration from Saint Laurent with the ripped jeans but jesus christ even the bow tied shirts and checked shirts are blatant rip offs...

went to daikanyama t site and my jaw dropped, in no other city in the world have I seen such huge collection of books and magazines on design/fashion/photography/architecture/etc. I mean, you can even shop for old issues of basically all old japanese mags, shit was insane! left there like 300 bucks and will for sure come back before leaving
