Little Book of Letterpress

Posted on by Hijiri

I am so excited and proud to tell you that my work and my studio have been featured in this book called “Little Book of Letterpress“! It is a little BIG book, filled with lots of amazing work from all over the world! It is so fun just flipping through :)

The cover has a nice impression, too.

And I have a spread! Page 174 and page 175.

It should be out everywhere in US and outside of US, too. You can grab a copy here or here.

Thank you so much, Charlotte, for including my work!! She also has a great design blog, I’ve been a fan :)

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!!!

I LEGO N.Y.

I’m sure you’ve seen this around… I LEGO N.Y. by Christoph Niemann. When I fist saw it on NY Times blog (via swissmiss), I thought it was so simple, fun and creative! So when the book came out, I had to get it — it became one of my favorite café books around :)

If you are in NY area, the PowerHouse Arena (I loooooove this book store!!) is having a NYC launch party tomorrow, Saturday, April 17th at 3-4pm. I might just stop by. Sounds fun!

“Attendees are encouraged to bring their own NYC LEGO® formations! The creators of the 3 best NYC themed LEGO® formations will win a FREE copy of the book!” — I wish I had some legos handy… Do you?! What would you make?

Here are a couple shots from my book:

Happy Friday, everyone!
