I was up in Nagano, Japan, in the Nozawa Onsen prefecture for a project. This is rather an interesting one, snow was all over the place, 10 feet high and shit, waking up in my room with views of mountainous tops and pure wilderness, so to speak. I was told to do Tokonoma's, a traditional Japanese like banner in rooms. Peter who happens to be my best client and friend, owns lots of hotel apartments in Nozawa, he wanted me to do up their rooms on Tokonoma's, and he told me to also collaborate and pick any Japanese street artist/graff to do it with. It would be a great chance to have a cross cultural exchange. Its kinda hard to get in contact with them, but one answered my email. and all i know, i was jamming Nozawa with Japanese finest Suiko1. I took hold of the winter concept while Suiko rocks the Spring edition. BANZAI!
