How do you mix all your passions into one? Ask Susan Hancock. Her love of art and Japanese culture led her to open Culver City's Royal/T, which is a café, concept shop and an art exhibition space all under the same roof...

Currently, the art space is curated by renowned New York based artist KAWS and includes works by Olaf Breuning, Carol Dunham, Andre Ethier, Tom Friedman, Misaki Kawai, Hideaki Kawashima, KAWS, Mike Kelley, Ted Mineo, Takashi Murakami, Mr. Yoshimoto Nara, Oliver Payne & Nick Relph, Richard Prince, William Sasnal, David Shrigley, Jim Torok and Yan Pei-Ming.

Furthering their connection to the art world, KAWS designed a limited edition OriginalFake T-shirt that is available exclusively at Royal/T for $68. Besides the art aspect of the space, the cafe portion is inspired by Tokyo's Akihabara district, and Royal/T's waitresses are dressed in maid uniforms serving a fusion of French and Japanese fused cuisine.
