The idea of the site is definitely a good one, because there is a real need to open up more links between Japan and the West. But I just didn’t see any work there that jumped out to me. Have you seen spacecadet.jp already? It’s a bit more TInyvices-esque…

Your site came up very high on google and I have been spending the last hour or so looking through your work. I am a picture editor originally from the journalism world who have just recently been introduced to the art scene. Together with a few Japanese curators and gallery owners, we are brainstorming as to what we can do for young, emerging Japanese fine art photographers. One idea that has popped up was a simple directory that links to their websites

We hope this would encourage young photographers to build their own website, include English in their profiles and be more forward about selling themselves outside of Japan.

The site is still three days old, but I’d love to know what you think.

Thank you for taking the time.
