Here are two of the interesting characters you can see while walking around our event. Not only do we have booth exhibitors and live performances but we also have knights and big rubber pandas! So come down, get up, and get over to Design Festa to experience the excitment for yourself.

weird scenes from out at the livestage! don’t forget to swing by the live booth for updates on bands and set times etc, meanwhile enjoy the show!

back again with sweet harmony and soulful songs just one of the many impromptu band performances going on right now all around the venue!

….a previous  DF ticket designer, a regular exhibitor and a lovely lady whose works can be found 4th flloor at booth C1297/1298, An-co creates beautiful works in off-white linen.

…….especially when meeting people like this!!

We were very priviliged yesterday to have Will Andrews and Kaori Sakai come to visit, their erudite and extensive writings on art happenings in the city have kept Japanese and English-speaking readers on the pulse of creative Tokyo for over 4 years.

Even more impressive is the make-up of their operation – almost all volunteer staff who contribute passionately on a regular basis. Kenny and I were delighted to show them around our Harajuku galleries, feed them at our on site okonomiyaki restaurant, and hear their stories. Come back again soon guys! :0)
