When I was Thailand and Singapore in 2010 with my friend Ignacio I found him several times taking a picture of his face. “It’s for a project I’m thinking about; it’s going to be really cool!” – he told me. “The idea is to take always the same kind of picture, with the same angle and using the same lens, so when I go back home after my trip around the world I can make a video”.
It’s taken a while but the result is impressive; it’s very interesting to see how Ignacio’s beard changes!
I already have in my hands the new novel by Haruki Murakami, as of now only available in Japanese, with the title “色彩を持たない多崎つくると、彼の巡礼の年” that would translate as “Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage”. It seems like when Murakami started writing the story he was thinking about writing a short story but he ended up writing a full new novel.
Tsukuru Tazaki, the main character, is a 36 year old architect specialized in designing train stations. The novel starts with Tsukuru Tazaki reminiscing parts of his past life with nostalgia and sadness.

“Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru” is a tokusatsu short film directed by Ghibli’s Shinji Higuchi in which the god warriors of Nausicaä destroy Tokyo. It’s interesting to see Studio Ghibli producing something that is not 100% animation.
At the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo there is an exhibition opened until June 23rd that shows how the short film was made. ( Map to get to the museum )
