I <3 Tokyo

What a day. Found my fave graf artist, hit up temple did a lil ritual - say a prayer, chuck a coin in, bow, clap twice then bow twice again, pretty sure I smashed it. The park it was in was so mega huge and right slap bang in the middle of city. I was in awe. So much nature, tranquility, birdsong, and tradition among the concrete jungle of chaos. Then headed for Harajuku for a large day of shopping, the malls are so beautifully designed and packed with exhibition spaces, libraries and bars. I went to a Riso printing studio/workshop store that I’ve really been excited for, and treated myself to a pair on Onitsuka Tigers too. Had my midday nap and just about made it intime for some dinner with Kuro and his friends. Kosuke is a photographer from Osaka who is the sweetest and has an exhibition on this weekend in Tokyo! (Going tonight) We went to the same bar and it was popping on a Friday, met so many of Kuro’s pals and one of his English mates Mali from Oxford who has been living here for 3 years! Feel like this could be me one day… we had Japanese shots from a jar with a real snake in it very rogue. Didn’t want to leave but had tickets to see Black Coffee at WOMB a club in Shibuya so set off on my solo night adventure, the club was sick three floors separated by spiral stairs middle was main floor where he was headlining, lighting and soundsystem was banging but it was just so packed, loved seeing how much the Japanese love a boogie to soul house music! But lots of annoying Americans trying to talk to me interrupting my dance. Spent a lot of the night upstairs in the smaller room, it was such a vibe, more intimate but space to move. Great djs and you could smoke which was sick but now I stink! Kuro was still about the area so met me outside after and made sure I got in a taxi home safe what a fucking sweetheart.
