[Eatable of Many Orders]
Founded in 2007 by Koji Nii, who studied architecture at Tama Art University before graduating from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, and Yoko, who apprenticed under Bernhard Willhelm in Antwerp and Paris and has experience in leathercraft in Barcelona. The brand focuses on bags and shoes. As the name suggests, they aspire to create things that are "edible," conveying their reverence for the value of materials and the stories behind their creation, much like food quality labels or recipes. They continue their craft while living near the sea in Atami.

The world of Kenji Miyazawa, which I had intended to explore someday.

…of Many Orders



When I opened the invitation email, it featured Pinocchio. This looks rather interesting.

I think I'll visit Rocket again after a long time.

Next,

Mick Itaya: A Gift from an Angel
FRIDAY 25 NOVEMBER - WEDNESDAY 7 DECEMBER 2011

It's an exhibition by an old friend. It was about a year and a half ago that I asked him to design the logo for Dictionary Club.

I always feel a sense of relief when I meet Mick and experience his gentle presence.

Actually, I too was strongly drawn to the world of angels at one point.

I scoured galleries and flea markets in London and Paris.

I was contemplating that motif for a certain album cover, but
due to various circumstances, I had to abandon the idea.

The angel painting I acquired then is stored away somewhere.

Life is full of twists and turns, so it's a blessing just to be alive.

I should ask Mick why he's so drawn to angels the next time I see him.

In my case,
it was influenced by David Lynch's film, "The Elephant Man."

I was sobbing uncontrollably at a small cinema in London.

I'll write about that again someday.

The marriage of music and visuals is my eternal theme.

Speaking of which, I recall someone describing gold, which is currently gaining popularity in some circles,

as 'borrowing eternity'...

Angel motifs have consistently been Itaya's core and most popular subject, allowing him to approach a state of "beauty, love, and peace" that transcends time and space.
This exhibition is structured around those angels.
