Saw this tasty little nugget of information and photo in a side-story The Radavist did on Bespoked Osaka. 

To my recent-Riv-fan eyes this looks like a Riv in the classic style. I figure people on this list are knowledgeable enough to be able to comment more!

Either way it’s very cool and I love collaborations like this.

I saw that Radavist collection. I breezed thru it fast and missed this picture
that was mentioned in the email from Riv. There were many pics. I really
like the green! I'm unable to read the decal. Anyone know what it says?

It says.... "Rivendell"!
That head tube lug is very fancy.

Looks like a Rambouillet head badge.

Super beautiful frame and build! 

Here's a photo of Mr. Ishigaki at his craft from the Atlantis catalogue in...early 2000s?

So Blue Lug now have a blog post up about this bike!
https://bluelug.com/blog/kamiuma/nuveau-rambouillet-made-by-toyo/ 

Christened the 'Nouveau Rambouillet', it's both a one-off handmade bike put together for Bespoked Osaka and a bike that they (Riv, Toyo, Blue Lug) want to bring to production sometime in the future. What that means I don't know, but it's very cool! 
Below are a couple of images from the article but I do encourage everyone to visit the main article to look at all of the tasty photos yourself. They go through the origin story of the bike too, which you can read using the translation method of your choice.
