Japan Design Link Dump

Tidying up before we move our stuff down to Ibaraki. Found some old fliers from Design Fest 2004. Interesting companies and people, so I thought I would post them here.

Omomukiya-zakkaten: cool t-shirts, with Japanese style inserts. Nice wa-fu design.

Delightarts Online: more contemporary design t-shirts. Classic Japanese English!

Gunkanjima: artists project documenting the mysterious island of Gunkanjima.

Kanto High Teck Design:  Metal ware and more. Website under development?

Outsider Voice: Design for a new world.

All the websites are in Japanese.

Coming up next weekend is the 21st iteration of Asia’s biggest international art event. Every year I have seen flyers for this event, but have never been there yet; hopefully this year is the year.

DesignFesta vol.21 runs over the weekend of May 14 (Sat) & 15 (Sun), doors open at 11am and close at 7pm. The event will be held at Tokyo Big Sight – you can take a ferry to get there from near Daimon/Hamamatsucho stations to make for an even more interesting journey.
