By a serendipitous stroke of luck, I became friends with Yoko, the lovely founder of the equally cute & sparkling 8tokyo.com.
I was invited to dine with a group of her friends, along with Emily from Twitter, last Saturday at a popular yakitori place down in Omotesando/Aoyama. It was awesome meeting everyone — they were all so nice to me even though I was freaking out half the time.
When I met her at her office, Yoko passed me a packet of delightful goodies!
I wonder what’s inside… (I love the striped packaging!)
A cute mousepad with the horses drawn by Naho!
I’m going to pin this onto my Mitsubachi tote! (Also by Naho!)
Yoko also included a guide to Osaka, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful! I wish I had this when I went to Osaka back during Spring Break.
It’s well-designed, with good font-choice and beautiful photographs.
Speaking about photographs, I had the honor of meeting two photographers (Komiyama Yusuke and his wife) and they critiqued my very embarrassing portfolio. I’m usually not easily moved, but hearing them seriously go over my photos and give me advice was very, very nice of them. Thank you so much.
