Editor’s Note: I was very excited to see today that the Art Space Tokyo team reached its Kickstarter goal (you may have noticed the ads for it around the site), which means that the book will definitely get its reprint/update, and that we’ll see a free iPad version as well. But this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t keep contributing, as the more the project gets, the more time the team can spend in producing something really nice.
