Izumi Hiroshima Izumi Hiroshima: Illustrator / Meteorologist

Rather than a long bio, here is a nice anecdote about Izumi by Sir Paul Smith and Hans-Ulrich Obrist:

I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit more about your laboratory, the room that we are in today. It's more than just an office...

It's my room. My Playroom. In fact, it has become - without me realising - quite a well-known room around the world, because people have heard about it. A Japanese girl requested to come and see me because she wanted to see this office. She had read about it in magazines. While she was here, she chatted to me for 10 minutes and took no photographs. Then, two weeks later, she sent an amazingly detailed drawing - done from memory after just ten minutes in my room.
