Hordes of Japanese artists, designers, musicians, video artists, sculpters, rappers, pop stars and some seriously random kids descend on Tokyo every six months to show their wares. The Design Festa was at the massive Tokyo Big Sight festival hall on May 15.

This t-shirt really summed the whole day up. Cute ambitious and DIY. One of the coolest things I saw was the hip hop heads by one of the exits – one guy MCing into a set of headphones plugged into the mic jack. Other stalls that stood out were the badges from Bota Botan, great beats from DJ Better, actually there were loads of great things. But there were so many stalls that my head was really hurting by the end.
Amazing… it’d be wild to see the zine fair at TINA (Newcastle, Australia) get a bit wider in the sorts of creative work people can display.

That's it. What Next?
