Podcasts about Shimokitazawa

Mitsugu Sasaki, an artisan based in Iwadeyama, Miyagi, Japan, is the visionary founder of SASAKI YOHINTEN, a celebrated business crafting hand-sewn clothing from vintage textiles since 2014. Renowned for his mastery of traditional Japanese sashiko and boro techniques, he transforms century-old European linens and Japanese fabrics from the Edo to Showa eras into unique, sustainable garments that blend cultural heritage with global influences. After running a vintage clothing store in Tokyo's Shimokitazawa from 2009 to 2014 and overcoming a 2017 fire that destroyed his physical shop, Sasaki transitioned to an online model, earning international acclaim, including a 2024 Vogue Japan feature where Angelina Jolie dubbed him “Boro Mitsugu.” His commitment to preserving craftsmanship, evident in exhibitions across France, the UK, China, and New York, and his clothing's presence at Atelier Jolie, underscores his profound impact on sustainable fashion.

Wenn dich ein Magazin zur angesagtesten Gegend von ganz Japan kürt, ist das relativ sicher der Anfang vom Ende. Heute schlendere ich durch fünf vermeintliche Trendviertel Tokyos — von Omotesando bis Shimokitazawa — und schaue, wie viel von der einstigen Coolness noch übrig ist. Und: was hat Gwen Stefani mit dem Untergang von Harajuku zu tun?!

Joe McReynolds is co-author of a new book about how flexible micro-spaces create the spontaneity and vitality of Tokyo, and how so much the city is built on the often very niche dreams and passions of its citizens, and also slash-fan-fiction. Cruises to deal with inflation and heat stroke.Topics discussed on this episode include: What to remember about your successes or failures on the JLPT Bobby's continuing BBQ tribulations and the experience of working together as husband and wife The challenges of mass producing sauce Ollie's latest stand-up adventures and how things are finally looking up for him a bit Ollie's thoughts on therapy and clarity Gratitude for your continued patience and support Joe's book Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City How different zoning restrictions create kind of spaces/businesses that we're used to seeing in Japanese cities Japan's narrow, dingy, alleyways and how they became a vibrant part of city life The sheer massive NUMBER of drinking/dining establishments and how they're sustainable Barriers for opening restaurants in the states and UK, as opposed to Japan The difference between what people WANT to do, and what laws make it possible for people to do Weird business operations hours with Shimokitazawa as a test case Running a business versus doing something you enjoy with your life/time Which district of Tokyo does Joe find fascinating and what does the district teach us about the creation of real physical pockets of subculture How countries choose to restrict or not restrict people's creative endeavours Why Joe's background in National Security Analysis helped him tackle this topic How the cityscape of Tokyo is built out of people's dreams and allows for self-exploration The control that landlords/land-owners wield over the tone/vibe of the city and local economy How concern with property value affects possibility Bobby's experience with selling products out of his home kitchen and getting the permissions to do that/open a restaurant How much do we trust strangers with our (food) safety?

Wir nehmen euch mit in unsere Lieblingsorte in Tokyo. Egal ob berühmt und in jedem Reiseführer oder Geheimtipp für Kenner: Hier kommt alles auf den Tisch. Heute gehts nach Shimokitazawa. Dieser Ort gehört zu den kleinräumigen Stadtteilen Tokyos in denen man das menschliche Maß noch spüren kann. Er ist chaotisch und lädt mit ihren engen Gässchen zum Erkunden ein.

Episode 30: This week is the fourth and final part of our Tokyo Deep Cuts series, and in the spirit of leaving (some of)the best till last, we cruise the funkier streets of Kichijoji to take in Scratch and Sometime, before heading back via Shimokitazawa to call on Lady Jane. We head out to the suburbs to finish up in the incredibly enigmatic Genius, and hear about the owner’s legendary record collection. Thanks as always to Brian of groovesahead.com for audio assistance and Louie Lastic for our theme music.

We're back! After an almost 2 month hiatus, Art School Taught Me returns with Season 2 of Conversations with Creatives here in Manila. On this episode we sit down with aspiring photographer and filmmaker, Hix. We discuss her views on film vs. digital photography, as well as her recent shift into filmmaking. Our conversation covers most aspects of production from writing to directing to producing. Aside from Pinterest, she reveals that random word generators are often sources of inspiration when it comes to conceptualizing ideas to write about, which was something that took me by surprise. Hix also talks about some of her past projects, and the importance of being sincere with your art. Vulnerability is a big aspect of her work and you can feel it when you watch her films. Towards the latter half of the episode we discuss the LGBTQ+ community here in the Philippines and what needs to happen in order to make the future a safer and more accepting place for everyone. Before wrapping up the episode, we talk briefly about Japan and how cool Daikanyama and Shimokitazawa are. As well as how sketchy Minami-Senju can sometimes be. I asked Hix about places in Japan that she finds special to which she responded with Yamanashi prefecture, her dad's province. As per usual, the environmental noise is above what it should be for a podcast. I'm a bit rusty from the season break but hopefully we can get back into the swing of things soon. Thanks for listening!

Un numéro 12 presque à l’heure pour une fois. On (Ludo) maîtrise de mieux en mieux le nouveau matos, ça devrait sonner de façon particulièrement harmonieuse à vos oreilles de mélomanes (sauf la voix de l'invité que j'ai pas réussi a rehausser :/ ). Cette fois-ci on est allés à la rencontre de la jeunesse bohème de Shimokitazawa, un quartier de joyeux hippies bien connu des rastaquouères tokyoïtes, où on a refait le monde avec David, de la bière artisanale et bien sur la mauvaise foi qui nous caractérise. _____________________ Le sommaire : * Des news particulièrement clivantes : un troll conjugal sur Youtube (ça tourne mal), du délit de sale gueule poussé à l'extrême VS. la fashion police IRL, une assurance spécial harcèlement scolaire (OK Ludo, victimiser ça existe mais ça ne veut pas dire ça). Rien sur le caca pour une fois (on est désolés). * Le mot de Ludo : “onsen” (温泉) ou comment batifoler à poil dans l’eau chaude (et en famille) est devenu un rituel de purification. Ou l’inverse. * Ca fait pas rire : la liberté de la presse au Japon – il y a encore du boulot. * Notre invité, David, de la direction artistique en agence à la startup, en passant par (beaucoup) d’illustrations. _____________________ Coaster Shimokitazawa → https://coastertokyo.com Le Behance de David → https://www.behance.net/david-robert The Tokyoiter → http://www.thetokyoiter.com D’autres trucs qu’il fait → https://www.canvas.co.com/creatives/david-robert VanMoof → https://www.vanmoof.com Yabai Soundcloud → https://soundcloud.com/yabaitokyo Yabai Itunes → https://itunes.apple.com/fr/podcast/yabai-en-terrasse-a-tokyo/id1287853045?mt=2 Yabai Stitcher → https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/yabai Yabai Podmust → https://podmust.com/podcast/yabai/ Suivez nous sur Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/majiyabai/ Sur Twitter → https://twitter.com/tokyoites_tv Sur Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/yabai_tokyo/

On this episode, join me as we scratch the surface of the Tokyo indie rock scene.  I sat down with Kento for a blitzkrieg-paced bop of an episode.  I dove deep into his musical inspirations, his experience living and  bringing anarchy in the uk and finally coming full circle back to the Tokyo Indie underground.   Kento's come-as-you-are demeanor reflects his musical journey which is still growing.  Although the Tokyo scene has a clear and present division within their community, it undoubtedly shares the same unknown pleasures for rock and roll.   Case in point, Kento and I try to figure out two highly influential neighborhoods of Koenji and Shimokitazawa:  great outlets for starving artists yet they have completely different music vibes.   Kento’s story can be very familiar or just new noise but it’s definitely not the path of the norm in Japan.  Hope you enjoy!   PS. Can you name all these punk band references of my youth? You can check out Kento's band by searching  on Youtube and Soundcloud:   https://www.youtube.com/user/kentiemod https://soundcloud.com/kentie_funk Also check out these clubs and see for yourself about  local Tokyo underground indie rock scene: Club UFO (Koenji) :  https://www.ufoclub.jp Club Ichibee (Kichijoji) :  http://www.ichibee.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/madeinjapanpodcast/message

We're on the road, this time to Japan which is a cratedigger's version of heaven, without all that annoying harp music. We visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima for an unprecedented record roadtrip extravaganza plus we speak to two great shops, Best Sounds in Shimokitazawa in Tokyo and Hitozoku Records in Kyoto! If you like records, just starting a collection or are an uber-nerd with a house-full of vinyl, this is the podcast for you. Nate Goyer is The Vinyl Guide and discusses all things music and record-related. http://www.thevinylguide.com http://facebook.com/vinylguide https://instagram.com/vinylguide/
