For the sake of art, Michael could come to my house and do one of these installation in my supermessy room.

while trotting around harajuku i luckily bumped into one of the things to see i thought i had no time any more to go check out, Papier Labo, an amazing small shop dedicated to paper in it's purest form and shapes. they sell handmade notebooks, nicely sculptured wooden pencil holders and well designer calendars amongst many other beautiful objects.

few footsteps away is their befriended cafè Tas Yard, where the work of Noritake was shown in a mini-mini-exhibition.

simply simple and depressingly awesome.

QSL cards are personalized postcards that were used as a record of contact between CB radio (and other two-way radio) operators.

it was already hard to pick up these ones, since they are all so beautiful!

i recently visited a small record shop chain in tokyo which smelled of gold, everything that my fingers could touch was a new heartbreaker for me. tears and smiles have almost the same soundtracks.
