The other day, I went out for the Design Festa as a friend of mine was to participate in the event as a specialist on calligraphy at the second day. The event was held Saturday and Sunday last week and I bought the ticket for both. That’s because it was my first time to browse the event, and I was not sure if I can walk around in a day. Not even a day, it’s only 3 hours or so per day that was allocated to me, after all other duties subtracted. As a result, I could not find extra time off on the second day, and so I failed to see how my friend’s doing there, and spoiled half value of the admission ticket. (T_T)
In fact, it was rather surprising to me to have been charged for 2 days because the place for the event is the Tokyo Big Sight, where I used to visit for interior & architect fair or building materials fair quite so often and once I paid for entree, I received a card that showed I could come back anytime, during the fair was open. (Tokyo Big Sight is a place for international trade fair.) So I never thought of being requested to pay for 2 days this time. The site was composed of A, B, and C area and was so large that I could cover only C on Saturday. At that time I thought I was gonna check out A & B next day, but there was no next day to me. I went there alone, but I enjoyed talking with artists and learned how they made their works. Most of the artworks and crafts were OK to be taken pictures, unlike shops. I took some but there were only a few that I really liked. Akkomon’s half three demensional illustrations were my best of all! Their works are elaborated as you can see, and so the price for each was also high, meaning 80,000yen or so. But I think it’d be cool to hang one of their works on the concrete wall or painted wall. In this post, their works are the last 2 photos. The last one is a close-up photo for your better understandings. I wonder how other artworks that I missed to check out at A & B area. Let alone, I feel so sorry for not being able to check out my friend’s works and introduce that in this post. (>_<) I'll try to make it next time or next year. For your reference, just as a tip, there is a Design Festa Gallery available in Harajuku and this one seems free of charge for entree. I may wanna check that out if I have time. Well, I wish I had time… |
