The Art of Tatebanko
"河出書房新社さんから「そのまま立版古」という本が出版されました。 広重、北斎の名作浮世絵を元素材に、５作品が立版古になったものを作って楽しめるキット本となっています。 またキット部分以外でも簡単な「立版古の説明」などの情報もあります。出来上がりは丁度手のひらに乗るくらいのコンパクトな感じに仕上がります。"

User-interfaces are basically layered structures
"An interface is basically a layered structure with layers of code where the top layers are progressively oriented towards the human while the bottom layers address the machine. At each layer, and between the layers, the interface translates and negotiates between the machine and the human. This translation leaves traces that are perhaps most visible when the machine breaks down or when a breakdown of communication occurs. Such traces are of course not desirable when designing a user-friendly interface. Still, the translation should not always strive to be automatic, smooth, and seamless. We need critical interfaces that give the user insight into to the workings of the machine and software, which would also give the user better possibilities to develop unforeseen and 'un-designed' uses."
