W+K Tokyo

With visitors in town from Portland and some big departures & arrivals, Wednesday was time to party. Unnecessary feather boas, barrels of sake, tears, woodblock print graffiti storytelling and glow sticks all played important roles. Good luck back at the mother ship Trish! We will miss you!

Trish and Dave.

Kanpai!

Tammy (before crying) presents a special gift to Trish. It’s a plastic eggplant gyoza (her favorite) freshly made in Asakusa.

Trish wearing Shachou tasuki (the sash that says MD of W+K Tokyo).

Now the tasuki is passed on to our new MD, Blake Harrop.

Michiyo presented Blake’s portrait-as-Prince Shotoku. The portraits have become a W+K Tokyo tradition.

Emilie, Hiromi and Akio made Trish’s dream come true. Trish always to wanted to have a Japanese block print so Emilie drew all the Trish’s memories and happenings in the last 5 years and they carved it.

The theme for the feast was “Trish’s most favorite Roppongi soul food”.

That’s the new TVCM for PS3 with GT5!

2010′s last guest for Lunch with… was Tota Hasegawa/ Tomato. Tota was here almost 5 years ago with another member of Tomato, Simon Taylor. We were all excited about his return and the collection of works he presented to us. He is traveling back and forth between Tokyo and London, and we were lucky enough to book his time for us.
It was so great to have you back, Tota! Please come again.

His book 『モノサシに目印』 is really popular among wk peeps!

Today’s lunch menu: Yakiniku onigiri(rice ball with BBQ beef), satoimo miso soup

Those of you who have visited our office before might be familiar with the wall of photos at the entrance. It’s a tradition for all our global offices to have photos of people who work there on display. It’s not only an introduction of our people but also shows W+K’s philosophy of valuing people above anything else.

We were all naked in the former version, but this time, we decided to go crazy. Here are some previews. Please come visit us anytime to enjoy the entire gallery. Lots of surprises.
