Posse Spotting: Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan
The Posse hit up the Vivienne Westwood shop in Harajuku. Look to the right of the Union Jack. Or go southeast of the Sexy Dynamite sign. Whatever works for you.
Posse Spotting: Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Tokyu Security is no match for the Posse! Nice triple-play of Maneki Neko.
Exclusive Japanese Stickers
I’m very happy to post this one because I’ll be visiting Japan for the first time at the end of this month. These new stickers are Japanese exclusives, sold in and around Tokyo. My girlfriend passed on an interesting article from the NY Times about killing time and beating jetlag in Tokyu Hands. Count me in. Here are some of the sticker-selling locations.
I’m Sorry If I Smell
When this happened, it was so unfair. I’ve been wanting to visit Japan for going on a decade now, but the moon and the stars didn’t align in time for me to make it to Tokyo in time to see Jon Burgerman put on his first solo show there. The “I’m Sorry If I Smell” mini exhibit opened at FewMany and ran through December 14th, 2008. Between Flickering food photos, Jon sent me some great snaps of the gallery installation. I’m digging all the tiny canvases with Japanese captions. I like how Jon has integrated elements of Japanese culture into his work, even by just using paper and envelopes from the various locations. I’d kill for the doodled airplane sickbag (to match my other one). Heroes of Burgertown figures and Burgermenos Egg Qees were also available at the show. I’m finally going to get to Tokyo, but I’ll have missed the show by about a year.
Little Cards For Japan
Jon doodled these handy traveller cards for his trip to Japan for the I’m Sorry If I Smell show. Unfortunately, the cards have not yet been made commercially available for the rest of us.
