Japanese design
We gotta hand it to the Japanese, their culture really shines through in every art form: film, literature, design -- be it classic or contemporary. Yesterday, Arnold and I saw (and drooled over) the Discover Japan Through Contemporary Posters exhibition at ShangriLa Plaza Mall. (It's running 'til April 9, Manila folks).
It's a shame I couldn't find a link to the actual exhibit so am instead directing you to the Tokyo Type Directors Annual Awards where you can see some of the kind of beautiful art I'm talking about.

Speaking of Japan, my dad is a "Visiting Professor" at the University of Tsukuba (again) where the schoolyear officially started last Monday.

Hey there. I have this amazing Korean/Japanese art calender for this year! The art is so luminous, i find myself ripping pieces out and making a collage!

i would really love to go to Japan. my mom used to go there before because of our business. i have a cousin who studied high school over there and when she came back here she even organized a mini museum at her house for us to see some japanese stuff. i got some books also about japan and i love watching shows in japanese channels. there are so many things to see there!
