Etsy Friends at Make: Tokyo Meeting 07

We joined MTM02 to 04 as 8tote (Mitsubachi-tote in Japan), and this time, I as “necocoa” joined MTM07 as a member of Etsy Friends.

It was so special that Etsy sellers and customers – craft or tech lovers – could share creative hours on the weekend.

mishin cafe

“Mishin” means sewing machine.
I don’t have sewing machine, but wish to make something by that! ;)
So I went to mishin cafe to borrow it. The shop owner teach me how to use, and then I made it.
Using sewing machine is 500yen for one hour.

Of course you don’t need using it… you can just enjoy a cup of drink in there.

Momiji Ichi 2011

I went to go to “Momiji Ichi” that was also held last year.
Along the Tama river there was a lively market held with various things like pottery, clothing, food, music, photography, illustrators, essayist, and a cafe.

In a normal year a lot of people go there, but since this year the first day was canceled because of rain, a lot more people than last year showed up and it was really crowded.

I was entranced by the live music under a blue sky,
and at the cafe I ate some delicious snacks, buying a cute hand made zakka,
so it was a really fun day.

kotenkoten ten

I went to Nagano to see “kotenkoten ten” (last ten means exibition in kanji), exibition of Nakagawa Takeji of take-g.
He makes amazing wooden mosaic and inlaid dolls.

The dolls are funny and cute. Almost of their name comes from Edo era worker, gods, or animals.
Woods rise above eras, these dolls will be same when we treat them good.

KAKIMORI’s semi-custom made notebook

I got a nice present from my friend the other day.

It is the world’s only semi-custom made notebook that a stationery shop named KAKIMORI created, which is located near Kuramae Station on the subway line. At KAKIMORI, you can make an original notebook to order by selecting a cover sheet, inside paper and the size.

The cover page is blue, which is my favorite color.

It’s too nice to use, but it is exciting to think how I will use it.
