City In A Bag
These city in a bag toys by MUJI are perfect for well travelled children and globe trotting individuals as well. Three popular cities (Tokyo, Paris, and New York) are immortalized in wood with emphasis on their most famous landmarks. These toys are great ways to introduce kids and kids-at-heart to the most stylish cities in the world and at the same time, double as playful, yet sophisticated home decor.
Uniqlo T-shirt Line 2006

After majoring in political science at Tokyo’s renowned Keio University the spunky artist began writing music expressing her politcal views. After spending much time in Brazil and being inspired by the culture Tigarah released an 8 track EP, and is expected to release a full length LP this summer. Keep your eye out for this one, this Japanese cutie is breaking boundries.

Of course, the brains behind the Japanese fashion empire, Nigo, was there to join in on the festivities. And as expected, he was wearing his ubiquitous neck gear. I wonder how much those necklaces weigh…
Kamenoko Tawashi
24-year old Shunsuke Iwata is responsible for the beautiful photographs found in his website. The photos are in themes, ranging from beautiful scenery to delicate portraits. The photos also have a very clean, immaculate feel to them due to the brightness and use of natural sunlight. Style, solitude, and an understated happiness radiate from the photographs and these will make you want to go back to the website over and over again.
