Land of the rising Sunny: Simon Parkin's NanaOn-Sha studio visit

Says UK journalist and Offworld contributor Simon Parkin of his latest upstart photo series WorkStation:

Offices are offices, whatever their location, but having visited a number of development studios across the world, I still find it interesting how diverse they can be in the details. You can tell so much about the minds and ideas that inhabit a desk just by looking at the detritus on and around it.

WorkStation aims to be an intermittent feature, offering a window into the development environments of studios around the world.

And he's started it off in as wonderful a place as I could imagine, Parappa dev NanaOn-Sha's Tokyo studio, with, as above, a full size figure of WonderSwan oddity Rhyme Rider Kerorican and more Parappa/UmJammer Lammy merch than you could ever fathom. Visit Parkin's Chewing Pixels blog for the whole set.
