A couple months ago, Satoshi sent me a letter (with a beautifully hand painted envelope!) asking if he could include one of my envelopes in this exhibition. Today I got a very lovely, very polite letter from the Japanese exhibition hosts and this gorgeous little book. On the title page, it says \u003Cb>e\u003C/b> = picture, \u003Cb>futo\u003C/b> = envelope.\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/efuto1-977e778846.jpg\" />\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/efuto2-0da40cf64d.jpg\" />\\r\nI'm slightly embarrassed because this was the first time I'd used this pig-on-orange image, and I liked it so much that I repainted it for a few other people. So I hope they don't spot it and feel let down that their image isn't entirely unique. :-P But I still think it's a very cool sounding exhibition. I wish I could go to Tokyo and see it!\\r\n\u003Ci>Here are the details, if you do happen to be in Tokyo:\u003C/i>\\r\nLocation: Teishin Sogo Hakubutsukan (Teipark)\\r\nNearest station is Otemachi Metro Station exit A4 or A5\\r\n03-3244-6811\\r\nhttp://www.teipark.jp\\r\n2nd June – 8th July 2007, 9:00am~16:30pm, closed Mondays","2007-05-31T14:36:00.000Z","tokyo-envelopes-exhibition",[],"tokyo envelopes exhibition",1776628732491]
