Cho Ongo "Diaspora skateboards" ¥5,000+TAX
The skateboarding scene is heating up, and now we have a photo book that drops even more fuel. Not only skaters but also fashion lovers will take note.
Photographer Cho Ongo, a member of Tokyo-based skate label Diaspora skateboards, will release his first photo book, "Diaspora skateboards," on Wednesday, November 13, 2012.
This 80-page book, themed "Diaspora skateboards," chronicles the 10-year history of the group, taking as its subjects its members and the artists associated with them.
This book, a slice of the street, is a log of a decade in Tokyo, and its contents are no exaggeration.
PORTER × Vainl Archive (Supervised by Diaspora skateboards) Shoulder Bag ¥12,000+TAX
From the release date to December 1 (Sun.), a photo exhibition will be held at the gallery and store "Salt and Pepper," which handled the publication of the book.
Along with this, a shoulder bag co-created by POTER and Vainl Archive, supervised by Diaspora skateboards, and a T-shirt designed by Ryusuke Eda, director of bal, will be available for purchase.
The front is embroidered with the familiar embroidery.
In addition to the sale of limited-edition merchandise, there will also be a reception on the first day of the exhibition, and many other contents to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Diaspora skateboards.
