This week, we present a short interview with Daisuke Minimoto (right), who is believed to have the world's largest holdings of Olaf Blogg ephemera.We spoke to Mr. Minimoto on the phone while he was in his office in Yokosuka, Japan, where he runs his family robotics firm.
G100T...M: When did you first become interested in Olaf Blogg?
DM: Well, honestly, I never heard of him until recently.
G100T...M: (Laughs).
DM: I'm serious. I bought a collection of antique pornography at auction, and in the lot was this old book belonging to some Swede who had...how do you say it? "Diarrhea of the pen"?
G100T...M: Incredible. Do you know if that pornography was, in fact, Olaf Blogg's?
DM: I don't care who had it before me--its all mine now, know what I'm sayin'.
G100T...M: Remarkable. Do you have any message for admirers of Olaf Blogg?
DM: Not really. Do you like my tie?
G100T...M: It's lovely.
DM: I got it at a store in Ginza.
G100T...M: Truly fascinating. Thank you for your time.
DM: Don't mention it. It's not like I'm the one paying for the call.
Truly, a prince among men.
IN TWO WEEKS: This blog just might return!
