What's going down in Tokyo town? As you can imagine there is always so much and often to much to do in Tokyo. We are always on the look out for interesting places to check out or new spaces to hang in so we thought we might share some of the happenings we have our eye on this month.
As reported by Jean Snow, Cafe Pause in Ikebukero is showing off the Speakerdog paper toy exhibit until April 20. Nani Bird creator and TOKYOMADE resident Josh McKible of MCKIBILLO fame has teamed up with the Speakerdog crew and some of his pieces can be spotted at Cafe Pause right now.
Pingmag, the place to go for all things cool in the design world, has just written a hot little article about the glowing gates of Tokyo. The article shows off some of the twinkling lights welcoming wanderers and shoppers to the many hot spots along the Chuo Line (where much of the TOKYOMADE magic happens!) A nice reminder that we need to get out more and simply wander the illuminated streets of Tokyo in search of structural treasures.
On April 26th ABMlabor presents an intensely elaborate crossover party 域 -iki- the 3rd impakt featuring live painting, visuals by Shantell Martin, tunes by PUNKADELIX, YOUTH-K and KON (TIMOTHY REALLY) plus residents. It will be a super fun night for us as I will be performing Hoop Dance with the main act Punkadelix. All happening at JZ Brat in Shibuya.
Right now all we can think about is the rain clearing and the sun preparing to warm us up all weekend as we head to Yoyogi Park on Sunday for a day filled with friends, fun and Hoop Dance.
Wishes from a very wet and windy Tokyo
