About a week ago, Hillary posted some great links including one in particular that really intrigued me. I did a bit of sleuthing and discovered that the author of the book, "Book of Imaginary Books" ("Hon no Hon" in Japanese) - Junzo Terada produces a whole line of stuff under the name Comes Graphic. Comes has wonderful zakka goodies.
There's also stationary, brooches, calendars, diaries, mugs, fabric and I could go on and on. And I saw over at One Good Bumblebee that now you can use a shopping service if you can't live with out some of this Japanese goodness. However, if you happen to be making a trip to Osaka stop by the Comes store.


brilliant!! you're such a great sleuth! I LOVE all his stuff. I'd love to decorate a kid's room - or maybe my whole apartment! - with his stuff. I've seen that fabric before - over at cotton bowwow. ok, now I have to go back and drool some more. I for sure need to order that book now!
