tokyobike Summer Rides 2018 / Ride Two The Olympic Park & The River Lea

A Picture Only Tells Half The Story

We were thrilled to host the London launch of the book at our Shoreditch store and invite friends and customers to come along and learn more about the Cibi concept - with food and drink served, signed copies of the book were available on sale.

We were thrilled to be asked to help mark the launch of the new Penguin Modern series. In addition to producing a custom tokyobike for the occasion we hosted an exclusive book club event exploring three beguiling Japanese short stories:

Behind the Prison by Nagai Kafu
Closet LLB by Uno Koji
General Kim by Akutagawa Ryunosuke

Inspired by David Byrne’s “Bicycle Diaries”, This Must Be The Place is a collection of illustrations by Hannah Warren of sites in London, travelled to and explored by bike.

A Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold.

Cracks are not hidden, but highlighted, becoming part of the object’s history.

In our workshop, we learned the process by hand.
