LETTERPRESS ~Select Designs from San Francisco and New York

Posted on by Hijiri

I have a very exciting news to share… my letterpress work and my studio has been featured in this new Japanese book called “LETTERPRESS ~Select Designs from San Francisco and New York” — if you are in Japan, it’s going to come out this week on August 14th!!! ((If you are in outside of Japan, you should be able to pre-order from Amazon.com or it’ll be available at your nearest Kinokuniya or any Japanese book stores in 6 months or so, I heard))

I think I’m getting a copy soon, I will share some of the pages when it comes! The author, Miki-san is an amazing writer & person, I enjoyed meeting with her and showed her my work and my (new) space. She also took a lot of photos for the book, I can’t wait to see and read everything! She is covering a lot of amazing letterpress studios in SF and NY, I can’t even tell you how honored I am to be a part!!! Thank you so much!!!

Site Problems…

Posted on by Hijiri

Just a quick (very frustrating) announcement from Japan… my site has been hacked! All my files have been removed and so this blog looks a lot different until I come back to the States in August… Sorry, but all the contents should be here!

Away I Go…

It was soo crazy before I left, I couldn’t even post a little announcement here… but I am in San Francisco now! Just flew in today, it’s been beautiful, saying hello to the city and my lovely friends :)

From here, on Tuesday morning, I will be going back to Japan until August 11th — I’ll pop in and say hi whenever I can or tweet what I’m up to here and there, but I won’t see you as often… Have a great summer, everyone!

Picture is my suitcase that has been traveling with me since 1997.

p.s My shop is having a summer vacation sale, you won’t receive your order until I get back in August, but if you are not in rush, please stop by! While supplies last — I won’t be re-listing again… until I get back, that is :)

I was delighted to see one of my Live What You Love prints featured in this great article on Etsy :: Etsy Success: Work It on Kaboodle. Thank you so much!!

I actually never used Kaboodle before, but after reading this article, I think I will try… have you been using it? Do you like it?
