So I got really lucky with my work schedule this year and managed to squeeze in a 2nd trip to Tokyo; I also spent a short week in the city earlier in May. There’s always something interesting to see and do in Tokyo and I actually managed to visit all of the exhibitions that I talked about in this earlier post.

I’m still sorting through all the photographs I’ve taken but below are some snapshots throughout my trip. Also, no visit to Tokyo is quite complete without picking up some great art books, so look out for some cool reviews of those in the coming week/s.

Dropped by Hiroyuki Asada’s ‘Still Life’ manga art exhibition in Shibuya, with a fantastic showcase of his original genga drawings for his comics. Some really splendid and clean line-art going on here. pic.twitter.com/ecTkyu14cl

A triptych poster set of Taiyo Matsumoto’s SUNNY manga that I found at Mandarake Nakano Broadway last week. I always seem to be discovering at least one item of interest that was never on my radar every time I visit. ? pic.twitter.com/wbCXO5bBj6

Beyond The Strand was splendid, especially if you enjoyed the Death Stranding games. I’ll do a proper write-up on the exhibition in the coming week/s. pic.twitter.com/iCCdfBHwCN

At the National Museum of Modern Art ( MOMAT ) to see the Takehisa Yumeji exhibition, a stunning artist/designer with impeccable aesthetic sense. Rather fitting to have discovered his beautiful work on ???? ( Culture Day ) in Japan. ? pic.twitter.com/q4hcFIoSHw
