Descending the steps to the basement venue that is Super Deluxe, I was met by what can only be described as a bazaar under the asphalt of Roppongi. Packed into the space’s handful of metres was a motley but colourful collection of stalls, manned by young designers and artists, foreign and Japanese.

It was a place to buy and sell, to meet and mingle, but also just to see what was out there and to revel in it. If you like laid-back, bustling art events, then be sure to check out the next installment of Fragment. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.
From fashion to handcrafts, there was a bit of everything, and even live painting.

There was musical accompaniment throughout the afternoon.
The other half of the venue was made into a place to sit and relax, and to enjoy some of the great ales on offer.
TAB was there with our t-shirt range. Ahem, the gentlemen in the foreground with his back rudely to the camera is our very own Paul Baron.
The event also featured the launch of document, a free art, design and fashion magazine. Be sure to pick up your copy and find TAB’s page!

William Andrews. William Andrews came to Japan in 2004, around the same time Tokyo Art Beat launched. Sadly, these two events, though equal in their significance for Japan, remained unconnected for some years. Meanwhile William lived in Osaka, working as a translator for Kansai Art Beat. He came to Tokyo in 2008 and, when not exploring art galleries, can often be found in the city's theatres. By day (and night) he does market research for a Tokyo-based trend agency, but somehow finds time to write occasionally on the performing arts for The Japan Times, CNNgo, and on his very irregular blog about Tokyo contemporary theatre: www.tokyostages.wordpress.com » See other writings
