it’s been, almost 3 years? since the last time i met Chihiro (it’s a guy, artist)
I saw his “Stories” on instagram a few days ago and he mentioned that he’s going to show up at shop called “Atelier Suguri-Hat” in Tokyo, only this weekend. so i decided to visit him.
but before they open the shop, there is another place i wanted to go which called “Fugensha” (publishing company).
it is funny story. i saw a fryer at photo gallery in Ginza which about Chinese photographer “Wang Lu” and it was very interesting to me.
and i find her at art book fair in october.
she was with young Chinese man who he also photographer and i would buy her photobook but i totally forgot to buy it and i bought his photobook. lol
when i got home, i was like DAMN!
and the next day i am already booked and that event will be closed earlier so i gave up.
then i found her photobook online so i could order it but also i find the photo book shop in Meguro so i decided to go.
so today, i got her photobook, finally! i will have look after i write this blog tonight.
and after visiting Fugensha (publishing company / photobook store), i got a taxi to visit Suguri but i told wrong address to taxi driver! lol
when i get off the taxi, i was like “where the heck am i??” lol
then i checked address on instagram over and over but i didn’t see the difference for a while then i noticed i was wrong totally!
then i get another taxi again. then i got off taxi at correct destination.
i found another stupid of myself that was wrong door when i was about to knock the door. yeah it’s wrong room!
and i spoked to a man with his kid and he told me it’s next aisle.
finally, i met chihiro! he is wonderful artist and gym geek!
there are many artistic items in the room with lovely cat.
i was so happy and had great time.
i hope i can see him in next month. (my book is full in this month)
it was long long journey to get Miss Wang Lu’s photobook and meet Chihiro today.
