The coolest collector in Japan. I'm sure many here can relate!

While his collection includes TV sets, record players and even non-electronic items such as furniture and metal figure molds, Matsuzaki’s biggest obsession is portable radio-cassette players, that is boomboxes. He has collected 3,000 so far, mostly at recycle goods shops and garage sales, he says.

If you want to see pics of his collection you can buy his book here:
http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Old-Boombox-Design-Catalog/dp/4861522234

It's not a great book (it's pretty small and not enough pages), and it's written in Japanese, but it's got some great photos.

He also keeps a blog of some of his recent acquisitions here:

I know for a fact that I've bid against this guy for some boomboxes... because after losing the auctions those same boxes turned up on his blog!

Thanks for posting this article, it's cool to learn more about who he is and what he's up to.
