(1) Out of Tokyo
===============================================================

Vol. 71: Saigenji
by Ozaki Tetsuya

I guess you've heard a variety of different stories about Joao
Gilberto's first concert tour of Japan, such as "the very first
show started (only!) one hour late," "the program was different
at each concert," or "during the performance he slept for 15
minutes." These are some of the episodes that hint at the
presence of the "god of bossa nova," and since all the world
had been waiting for the man to play live in Japan, the venue
was crammed with celebrities. I went to see the first performance
(9/11 at Tokyo International Forum), and standing out among the
large number of visitors was Saigenji, one of the hottest men of
the moment. I assume he was invited by the organizers or someone
else, and from his VIP seat right in the middle of one of the
first rows he was obviously enjoying Joao on "voice and guitar"
(which is also the title of his recent album, "Joao Voz E Violao").

(2) Event Pick of the Week

Nannano?
A-POC: A work in progress
by Miyake Issey and Fujiwara Dai

For the first time since he launched the Miyake Design Studio
in 1970, Issey Miyake now lifts the veil and reveals the process
involved in the making of A-POC's pieces. A five-year long
collaboration with Fujiwara Dai, A-POC has pursued possibilities
to create clothing instantly with computer-programmed knitting
or weaving machines. From simply A Piece Of Cloth -- which A-POC
stands for -- Miyake makes yet another reverence to the textile
tradition. Out of a constant exploration of the thread come
new possibilities for the wear of the future. Graphic designer
Satoh Taku offers a comprehensive explanation of the making of
this year's "baguette" knitted fabric in his display, and no
less than three other designers -- Taku, Yoshioka Tokujin, and
Akita Kan -- have also combined their efforts to provide a space
inducing the forefront of our imagination. A-POC then is not
just what you wear, it's a state of mind.
--Olivia Goldschmidt
