Ayami and Teiko

Today is the day! We turn twenty only once, isn’t it? Memories of this day have to be conserved… … many memories … … and of course shared! We then visit the Temple to take a peek on our future … and if we pick bad luck, we leave it bound to the gates. Sometimes we dream for a moment of relax … … but we have to keep movin’on: our adult age has just started! This fictional story of Ayami and Teiko…

It smells like fish

It smells like fish

Tsukiji is the largest fish and seafood market of the world, actually, it is one of the largest markets of the world of any kind. Located in Tokyo bay, it is organized in inner and outer markets: the first for buying, the second for eating. Either you manage being there at 4am for the tuna auction or before 11am to watch all-the-creatures-of-the-vast-ocean for sale, don’t miss it before it moves…

Designed by Kisho Kurokawa, it is one of the highest symbols of impermanence (as temporary structure) and honesty of materiality (as natural textures) in Japan. A squared Japanese flag for the 10th anniversary of the National Art Center of Tokyo Iron to iron and glass to glass: entrance and escalators of…
