The chain thanks.


Anybody notice that the book they ordered copies of today was called "The Floating World" and that the Tokyo performance of Simple Distinctive was subtitled "Floating Worlds"?

I think its based on yukio-e (spelling???) which is a traditional japanese concept that is applied to their style of art and calligraphy... often used to describe the open spaces on Japanese prints...

...a while back i remember reading something karl said about his love of japanese art and how he read a lot about it in books as a child/young artist... and its clear to see the influence of monochromatic caligraphy in the Tomato Art group works and interest in typography...

The Floating World is a book by John Warwicker that's been delayed since like 2004. For a while, there was a promo movie for the book on the Tomato site, and the background music was "Simple Distinctive".
