Aujourd’hui

 As today is 12/30 everything closes but convenience stores stay open.

　

 I bought salmon roe when I was shooting in Hokkaido. The cute color is the same as strawberry’s. Hokkaido was pretty cold but the seafoods was yummy and fresh. When the weather get warmer I would love to go again.

 Got a vintage Ray Ban, suits me very well. I tried matching United Bamboo’s first collection’s top with it. And I prefer old projects which made in USA.

 Now I’m playing guitar for practice. I want to become as good as Cat Power.

THE END OF 2011

 

 Today is Emperor's Birthday, and 2 days before Christmas. Many people were looking for Christmas presents. So did I. I was walking around Shinjuku and Shibuya, bought champagne and toy for Christmas party. I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends!

 And last week I went to Librtin/Dune’s opening party at The Last Gallery. All art pieces were great, I liked them very much. I took some pictures with Tomoo Gokita, Shota Sometani, Momoko Ando and Kazumi (gallery owner). It was my pleasure.

MY SUNNY SUNDAY

My day on sunday.

After the lunar eclipse last night , today was sunny. I went to a beautiful place called Kokyo in Yurakucho . A pine grove over there.Pine trees remain green even in cold climate. The sunshine though pine grove and made it bright.

I took some photos on Chikashi Suzuki’s style.Very nice composition,isn’t it?

Then I went to book store. I found the "Libertin/Dune 2^nd issue". The cover is a painting of Gus Van Sant. It was fantastic. I like not only his films but also his painting.

please check Libertin/Dune No.2 

And I'm looking forward to the exhibition -Libertin/Dune at The Last Gallery on 12/16.

(MQ BACK’s one was really nice,please have a check).

Got some informations about street art from Aaron Rose interview. I think he’s the reformer of art scene in 90’s.

By the way, I'm thinking about buying a black fleece poncho designed by Thom Browne…

TRIP TO ASAKUSA

It was the first time I went to Asakusa. A traditional place likes Basilique du Sacré-Cœur but more noisy and cheerful . Too many foreign (and Japanese) travelers visited there. It struck me as touristy… 

Got to "Thunder Gate" a grand entrance to the temple

The actual prayer building was behind me,but i forgot the name:p

After going through the main street I reached a famous traditional sweet shop named 'Umemura'.I ate a few different Japanese traditional sweets I have never had. Kakigori was great because the ice had been shaved more softy.

Queuing to seat

I was wearing U2's shirt with CELINE's scarf.
And my side view:)

It was pretty hot out but was still a wonderful experience!

BROWSING TURNED TO BUYING

I was browsing in Shimokitazawa yesterday.

Found out ‘Demolished Thoughts’ the 4th solo album from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, 

cute record jacket is designed by Steven Parrino.

Also found out João Gilberto’record(secondhand).I’d put them on my shopping list.

Vintage clothing store looks like a flea market of French Countryside.

I hunted for some bargains in there.

Bought U2’s shirt 'Under bloody red sky 1983'.
