So this might take some explaining. Last Friday night
Sayaca messaged me to tell me about an event happening on Saturday at the
Kashimax workshop in south Osaka. THE KATANA PROJECT: Look Ma No Brakes II is a collaboration between some very legendary people, basically Nagasawa-san builds the frames, Kashima-san makes the saddles and artists
Stash,
Rcade and
Futura do their thing decorating them.
Fixed In Nara and I headed south on Saturday afternoon...

| Party time. |
The bikes are stunning...
Watching Futura live paint was possibly the coolest thing that's ever happened...
 |
| Master... |
 |
| At... |
 |
| Work. |
Oh yeah, Mr Nagasawa was there too...
Seeing him check over
F-i-N's bike was a very special moment...
 |
| Inspection by the master. |
Having
Koichi Nakano's bike there just added to the insanely cool day...
OK, so many people to thank. Firstly
Nadir the man who put all of this together and made everyone feel welcome.
Kashima-san one of the nicest guys in the business.
Sayaca,
Rene,
Tsutsumi,
Taira and all the
Giracha crew and everyone else who made this such a special, cool day.
