There was a very charming lady with beautiful skin at the booth of inframince. I asked her whether she is using the cosmetic line which she was presenting and the answer was of course YES.

As a paper collector, I really want to have those paper. Mino (old name for the area of Gifu prefecture) has been very famous for Japanese paper since 8th century – now they are making products with modern concept by Hiroko Takahashi "FOLIO 3120".

Right after the TIDE EXHIBITION, there is TIDE MARKET where people can actually BUY the products – the area which is very dangerous for me…

I met Kentaro Tamai from ex-writtenafterwards designer who is now designing ASEEDONCL
