THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!
In Tokyo one night we were taken to a pretty odd restaurant on the outskirts of the city. The name of the restaurant has escaped me (and the labyrinth of google street view in japanese didn't help either). It was an experience. The restaurant was empty, aside from the owner who nervously laughed every time he saw us. If we hadn't been with our calm friends, I would have wondered if the owner wasn't planning to prepare us for the next days bento. The restaurant was perched on the second floor and filled to the brim with Yokoo paintings, posters, postcards and some fantastic promotional material for this restaurant specifically. We had to bring a memory of this confusing night. A card that combines erupting Fujis, bullet trains, a young Tadanori Yokoo, sex as a gesture, a suicide and finally the logo of a famous Japanese brewery...is as exciting as it gets. Yokoo also did some really racy posters, but I kept those entirely for myself. Look him up: Tadanori Yokoo, a very interesting personality.
