TOBIDUSTRY BIRD POP-UP CARDS BY ATSUKO YUKAWA

The beautiful bird illustrated pop-up cards "Tobidustry" are finally restocked with some more new birds! The illustration with amazing details is by Atsuko Yukawa who is also a bird lover. On the cover of the card drawn are birds sitting on the branch, and inside each bird pops up with their wings wide open - it's quite marvelous and it would give a happy surprise to those who receive the card.

Since these can only be produced in very small quantity each time we had to wait for a long time before we could finally get them. Now all the 8 designs/birds are available for purchase from UGUiSU.

Jona is a silver jewelry label designed and produced by Tokyo based Japanese designer Mr. Yasushi Jona. Jona creates the most poetic pieces of jewelry carefully crafted to give the impression that they were discovered from being buried in the sand for decades. Being contemporary yet having the vintage look, coarse texture will gradually change faces as time passes by which is what the designer hopes for the wearers to enjoy.

We started carrying Jona Jewelry in our Tokyo store a couple of months back, and now all of these as well as all the other pieces by Jona are available for international orders. Rings are made to order in your preferred size, and they will be ready in 2 weeks time before shipment.

Please contact UGUiSU for inquiries and purchases.

PERMANENT - "MAKE, EAT, THINK" FOOD CULTURE SMALL PRESS MAGAZINE

I am very excited to introduce this charming small press from Fukuoka, Japapn called PERMANENT

PERMANENT is a quarterly small press magazine published by two art directors in Fukuoka, south island of Kyushu, focusing on food and dining culture and lifestyle while having the keywords "Make, Eat and Think / つくる、たべる、かんがえる" as a concept. Think from the simple daily dining scenes, how and where things we eat are made/produced, who are involved behind it - they interview people and tell us in this A5 size small press with incredibly beautiful photography and make us think and be inspired. One of their serial features "Coffee and People" which they interview coffee maker/roasters is a great read!
