Tokyo Picnic Club (TPC) was founded in 2002
to celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of picnic, which became
popular by the activities of "Pic-Nic Club" founded in
London, March 1802. TPC members are over 80 people from various
fields like the architect, urban designer, landscape designer, graphic
designer, illustrator, photographer, food coordinator, editor, curator
etc.. They are to dedicate their talents of creativity for re-defining
the activities of picnic in the modern context of urban circumstance
of Tokyo, from developing food menu of sandwiches and tea flavors,
to renovating the park management systems and its landscape qualities.
To criticize the narrowness of public spaces and their exclusive
management, TPC is claiming the "Picnic Right", as the
basic human right for the urban dwellers of Tokyo. |
