Dear downloaders,

we have no excuses. This month the mag came out so late it is almost next month.

Sorry, we will strive to be more punctual from now on.

遅くなってしまいました。。。ごめん！

Anyway, we have the april issue of ABACO here.

Tokyo has seen the cherry blooming this month. In the parks, on the streets, everything was pink.
This spring issue is hosting an article by Francesca Gilli (la Franka), a precious friend now living in Palestine. We are very happy of this contribution, since we miss the Mediterranean countries sometimes: their air and their light.
This month we are presenting you another video artist and photographer: Nao Suzuki, Please enjoy her pictures as we did.

Thank you very much for the mails you keep sending us, we live on your appreciation!

Godetevi questo nuovo numero di ABACO magazine e la primavera.

After some years spent in Tokyo, Japan itself becomes something usual. Language, aesthetics, colors, shapes: they all become something expected, repetitive.

Yet, some days ago I found something that reminded of my image of Japan before even thinking of coming here: this spray.

Its looks are nostalgic to me, the shiny toilet makes me smile.

Together with spring, Abaco has bloomed.

In this issue we have gathered artworks that we like and so we hope you will.

Patrick Gannon shows us his papercut art, colorful!

Flavio Parisi has some pics of Tokyo after the rain, wet!

Yosuke Sato gives us some submerged photography, soaked!

Hakuchi gives shape to the hardcore music scene in Tokyo, radical!

Chiharu Ozaki tells us with portraits and an interview about subcultures, liminal!

please enjoy and be ready for more ABACO

お楽しみくださいませー
