The first ARTiSM Market, an exhibition and sale of items created by underground artists took place in Tokyo today. A brief impression…
Over 250 subculture and underground artists and designers participated in today’s first ARTiSM Market in Tokyo. From Steam Punk to Lolita, from Shironori to Cyber, just about every subculture active in Japan could be found here. They sold everything from CD’s to art to accessories to clothing.
There were way too many artists to check them all out in the few hours that the event took place. It was immensely inspiring and I hope the next ARTiSM Market will be organized soon!
About the AuthorInspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.
