I have been longing to take a little trip to kyoto for a while, but little this and that keep popping up and it seems I will never get there. So frustrating. It was almost 2 years ago when I was there last, that is when I took the first picture above. I suddenly remembered about this photo and while I was looking for it I found the other two and thought they'd go together.
Well, just a mumbling post really. Good night!

The latest issue of ku:nel magazine is out today! It's all Paris! At the back of the magazine it has a list of address with a map which all foodies would love. Also it has a "special gift" - a ku:nel calender for 2010! But the thing is, this issue has a "special price" too and is 90 yen more expensive than normal price. That must be for the "special gift" which I would rather pay the normal price and not get the calender, don't you think? hmmmmm, but anyway we don't seem to have a choice. Well if you still want to get it, it's here in my shop.

one fine dayMost of them are experimental shots taken with my new old canon film camera. All taken in the closer parts of tokyo from where I live except the last one was taken in Tochigi (2hrs north of tokyo) when I went there for my friend's wedding.
All images are from MUJI
MUJI has launched their new innovative product line called "Playing with paper and LEGO", a collaborative project between MUJI and LEGO. There are 4 sets, each includes 120 LEGO pieces and 10 sheets of coloured paper all contained in a box. You will need to get this special puncher to make the holes that matches with logo pieces. Looking at these images, I think they are so much fun not just for kids but for grown ups too, don't you think!? They will be available for purchase at Muji stores and Muji Online Store (I am not sure if they will be available in stores outside Japan) from 27 November and you can reserve them at the online store.
