Spoon & Tamago
Raised in Japan, the Brooklyn-based artist and writer who goes by the moniker Johnny Strategy has been blogging about Japanese art and design at Spoon & Tamago since 2007. Having studied art education and art and visual technology, he also has a background in pottery and hones the craft when not generating independent research and original content for his website. Strategy talks to us about his favorite design categories, introduces contemporary Japanese design that has been influenced by the Great Eastern Japanese Earthquake and reveals his desire to someday live in a minimalistic space. Spoon & Tamago also has an off-shoot site where he chronicles more about his personal life and the two kids who will probably keep him from living in that sparse, uncluttered space anytime soon.
