Live painting at the entrance to one of the floors

Seen also at 'Emerging Directors Art Fair: Ultra 002', Akira Yoshida's rocking horse, Yukari Art Contemporary

Shiseido had by far the most impressive booth in terms of its physical set-up, with Akio Ohmori's 'Circus in the Dream'

LOOTone's beguiling sad clowns and characters, Galleria Grafica Tokio booth

Haguri's work uses a lot of old Edo era motifs, such as traditional tattoos

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 teacher and 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. He writes on the performing arts for The Japan Times and a blog about Tokyo contemporary theatre: www.tokyostages.wordpress.com » See other writings
