George Nakashima


"To be intimate with nature in its multifaceted moods is one of great experience of life."

George Nakashima was born is Spokane, Washington in 1905 and grew up in the forest of the Olympic Peninsula. He received a Bachelor's Degree in architecture at the University of Washington and a Master's from MIT in 1930, as well as the Prix Fontainebleau from L'Ecole Americanie des Beaux Arts in France in 1928. After spending some time in Paris, he traveled around the world and secured a job at the Antonin Raymond office in Tokyo which sent him to Pondicherry, India, where he was the onsite architect for the first reinforced concrete building in that country and became one of the first disciples of Sri Aurobindo.
When the war broke out, he returned to the U.S via Tokyo where he met Marion, married in 1941 and was sent to the camps in Minidoka, Idaho in 1942 with his infant daughter, Mira. Though the sponsorship of Antonin Raymond, Nakashima came to work on his farm in Bucks Country, subsuquently rented a small house on Aquetong Road and then purchased a parcel of land where he designed and built his workshop and house.
Among many awards from AIA and other prestigious institutions, Nakashima received the Third Order of the Sacred Treasure from the Emperor and Government of Japan in 1983 in recognition of the cultural exchange generated by the shows he produced in Japan from 1968-1988. His last show in the U.S, the retrospective 'Full Circle' which opened at the American Craft Council and curated by Derek Ostergard, marked him as a 'Living Treasure' in the United States. This show returned to New Hope shortly before Nakashima's receiving his hinal award, alumnus Summa Laude Dignatus, from the University of Washington one week prior to his death in June 1990.

인간실격 II

"쓸쓸해."
저는 여자들의 천 마디, 만 마디 신세 한탄보다도 그 한 마디 중얼거림에 더 공감이 갈게 틀림없다고 생각하지만, 이 세상 여자들한테서 끝내 한번도 그 말을 들은 적이 없다는 것은 괴상하고도 이상하다고 생각합니다. 그렇지만 그 사람은 말로 "쓸쓸해."라고 하지는 않았지만 무언의 지독한 쓸쓸함을 몸 바깥에 한 폭 정도 되는 기류처럼 두르고 있어서, 그 사람에게 가까이 다가가면 이쪽도 그 기류에 휩싸여 제가 지니고 있는 다소 가시 돋친 음산한 기류하고 적당히 섞여서 '물속 바위에 자리 잡은 낙엽'처럼 제 몸은 공포나 불안으로부터 멀어질 수 있었던 것입니다.
저 백치 창녀들 품 안에서 안심하고 푹 잘 수 있었던 느낌하고는 또 완전히 다르게 (무엇보다도 그 창녀들은 명랑했습니다.) 이 사기범의 아내하고 보낸 하룻밤은 저한테는 행복하고 (이런 엄청난 말을 아무 주저 없이 긍정적으로 사용하는 일은 이 수기 전체에서 두 번 다시 없을 것입니다.) 해방된 밤이었습니다.
그렇지만 단 하룻밤이었습니다. 아침에 잠이 깨어 일어난 저는 원래대로 경박하고 가식적인 익살꾼이 되어 있었습니다. 겁쟁이는 행복마저도 두려워하는 법입니다. 솜방망이에도 상처를 입는 것입니다. 행복에 상처를 입는 일도 있는 겁니다. 저는 상처 입기 전에 얼른 이대로 헤어지고 싶어 안달하며 예의 익살로 연막을 쳤습니다.

John Mayer's 2013 album, the Americana-tinged Paradise Valley, is an introspective if somewhat more upbeat affair than his similarly country-inflected 2012 release, Born And Raised. With that album, Mayer was coming off a rough career patch that found him issuing a mea culpa for an infamously loose-lipped 2010 Rolling Stone interview. Making matters worse, in 2011 the singer/songwriter announced he would be going on extended hiatus from performing while he received treatment for granulomas found near his vocal cords. Subsequently, with Born And Raised, Mayer moved away from the commercial pop of 2010's Battle Studies and toward an intimate, largely acoustic, '70s Laurel Canyon-inspired sound with songs that featured plenty of apologetic soul-searching. Named after the Montana river valley where Mayer owns a cabin and spends much of his time when not touring, Paradise Valley continues in this more intimate country-folk style and often feels less like a stand-alone album and more like a companion piece to Born And Raised. Which isn't to say it's a lesser work. On the contrary, Paradise Valley actually hangs together better than Born and Raised, with songs that achieve a balance between Mayer's electric Eric Clapton influence and his softer James Taylor-inspired side. Although his self-imposed period of supplication seems to have ended, Mayer still has plenty of troubles on his mind. Whether comparing his life on the road to the life of an old girlfriend he webstalks online, as he does on 'Dear Marie', or struggling with his wanderlust and inability to call one place home, as he does on 'Badge And Gun', Mayer is clearly still struggling with some of life's bigger issues. As he sings to his old girlfriend on 'Dear Marie', 'Yeah I got that dream, but you got yourself a family'. It's this knack for turning his personal worries into universally relatable ones that helps Mayer avoid coming off as too self-absorbed and entitled. It is also this ability that helps him finesse 'Paper Doll' from simply being a nasty swipe at rumored onetime paramour Taylor Swift (Swift purportedly wrote the song 'Dear John' after being dumped by Mayer) into a superbly crafted and gorgeous song about romancing someone more emotionally vulnerable than yourself. Elsewhere, Mayer delivers a soulful rendition of J.J. Cale's 'Call Me The Breeze' - the most straightforward blues cut on the album - and delves into two synergistic duets, the first with on-and-off girlfriend Katy Perry on 'Who You Love' and the second with R&B auteur Frank Ocean on 'Wildfire'. That Mayer fails to cite country legend Ernest Tubb as the inspiration for 'You're No One 'Til Someone Lets You Down', which basically cribs the melody from Tubb's 'Walking The Floor Over You', might seem more of an oversight if he hadn't made it so obvious from the start that he was clearly drawing from the deep well of country music's past on Paradise Valley. Ultimately, whether it's Tubb's honky tonk twang, or the twang of Mayer's own heart, the sound of Paradise Valley rings true.

Supreme X Bruce Lee I

Bruce Lee, born 1940, was a Hong Kong American martial artist, Hong Kong action film actor, martial arts instructor filmmaker and the founder of Jeet Kune Do. Lee was born in Chinatown, San Francisco on November 27th 1940 to parents from Hong Kong and was raised in Kowloon with his family until his late teens.
Lee moved to the United States at the age of 18 to receive his higher education, and it was during this time that he began teaching martial arts. He initially trained in Wing Chun, but later rejected well-defined martial art styles, favoring instead the use of techniques from various sources, in the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy, which he dubbed Jeet Kune Do (The Way of the Intercepting Fist).
His Hong Kong and Hollywood produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, sparking a surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films: Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972), directed and written by Lee; Warner Brothers' Enter the Dragon (1973) and The Game of Death (1973), both directed by Robert Clouse. Lee became an iconic figure known throughout the world, particularly among the Chinese, as he portrayed Chinese nationalism in his films. He died in Kowloon Tong on July 20th 1973 at the age of 32. He is widely considered by commentators, critics media and other martial artists to be one of artists of all time, and a pop culture icon of the 20th century. He is often credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.
This Fall, Supreme has come together with the Bruce Lee Estate to release a capsule collection. The project will feature a coaches jacket, button-down shirt and three original graphic tees made exclusively for Supreme. There will be featured a Vans Era and Sk8 Hi that will come in three colorways.

Supreme X Nike Flyknit

This Fall, Supreme has come together with Nike Running & Nike SB to produce a version of the Flyknit Lunar 1+. The lightweight Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ brings the virtually seamless upper using Nike Flyknit technology together with the plush, responsive cushioning of Luarlon.
Since its launch in February 2012, Nike Flyknit Technology has redefined the development and creation of footwear with its ability to be engineered to provide a more precise fit for the specific needs of the foot. Support and structure are knitted right into the Nike Flyknit upper, which helps reduce seams, weight and areas of friction and keeps the shoe lightweight.
