Today marks one year of living in Tokyo!

What a year!

The little J-wave Interview when I first arrived. Arigato Mariko-san.

The lovely team at BNN included me in Girls ZINE book.

My paper bento was published in VOGUE Japan. Then the sweet VOGUE JAPAN online staff asked me to start blogging for VOGUE Japan.

Then there was the super fun Hello Sandwich x mt tape workshop with the amazing Kamoi team.

It was so nice also to do the Hello Sandwich workshop at Claska for the D♥Y event.

There was the Tokyo Art Book Fair.

Crafternoons at my craft idols house!

I was able to design this Japanese website and logo and lovely Sakura-san invited me to Art Direct a book for Editions de Paris.

There are so many fun things coming up too. A group exhibition at Nidi Gallery, Shibuya, Handmade note book workshop at Nidi Gallery, the Tokyo Art Book Fair 2011, Regular Hello Sandwich Craft Workshops at Shibaura House...There will be a little Hello Sandwich page coming out in a new craft book too.

And now I am making a craft book with a Japanese publishing company! ZOMG dream. come. true!

ありがとう東京！！！大好き! (sorry for the explanation mark frenzy)


Love Love
Hello Sandwich

    Wonderful things you have accomplished in one year in my dream country. I am very happy for you. Much deserved accolades.

    I also hope the country is slowly beginning to heal and build from the tragedy it has suffered.

    Happy first year Hello Sandwich! I so enjoyed reading your blog in anticipation before going to Tokyo, and now it's a lovely reminder of what it's like there - your atmospheric 'polaroid' shots of your local streets are just how I found it to be. Making your way somewhere so big and busy is a real achievement. I'm jealous! Here's to more successful years for you ahead.
