''JINEN''
Artist: Yu Yamauchi
@yu__yamauchi

Yu Yamauchi quests for primal truths about humans, nature, and the world through long sojourns undertaken far from human habitation. In Dawn he presented images of sunrises taken from Mount Fuji over a total of 600 days spent staying in a lodge on the seventh station; in Planet, which documented his five-year journey across Mongolia, he focused on the coexistence in that land of a multiplicity of worlds all with different flows of time.

Yamauchi’s ongoing quest reaches a culmination in JINEN, a collection born out of weeks-long solitary stays in the forests of Yakushima repeated time and again over a period of nine years. The images project Yamauchi’s internal world among the trees, giving visual manifestation to its interconnections with nature; what we behold in these pages, then, are scenes from a real-world fantasy featuring the very Earth itself.

NEW TITLE!

“Absence of Rina Ohta”
太田莉菜の不在

As a model and actress, Rina Ohta pursues work that is premised on her putting her body out in front of cameras. One day, though, she was hit by a sudden wish to turn herself not into photos or video—but lines. That wish started her on a collaborative quest with art director Naonori Yago for creative expression that explores what makes Rina Ohta, aside from her looks.

This book grew out of an exhibition of the same name. For that show, Ohta first picked out several motifs she thought best represented herself out of a few dozen personal photographs she had taken. The motifs were rendered one by one by Yago onto medium-sized canvases; those were then progressively enlarged, and also complemented by stained-glass-inspired objets d’art in plexiglass whose transparency referenced the notion of Ohta’s body being “unseeable.” Finally, the works were arranged alongside items including books from Ohta’s library and a chair draped with a few of her favorite clothes, shaping spaces like her own home.

The book presents views of the exhibition together with text by Ohta; turn the pages, and embark on the uncanny experience of hearing her words echo in your ears and sensing her presence in between the leaves, and yet not seeing her there.

‘’A Dictionary of Color Combinations’’, a compact-sized great color reference book!

This book is a collection of 348 color combinations originated by Sanzo Wada (1883-1967) who, in that time of increasingly avant-grade and diversified use of color, was quick to focus on the importance of color and laid the foundation for contemporary color research. Sanzo Wada was active as an artist, art school instructor, costume designer for the movies and the theater, and kimono and fashion designer who employed his extensive and versatile talents to do innovative work that centered primarily on visual perception and form.

Get inspired from classic Japanese color combinations!

Here is an introduction of our title “Beyond the Lines”.

From lines to cities that never were: an artist’s first collection. Daisuke Tajima conjures imagined cityscapes out of lines that drive and proliferate infinitely outward, guided by his prodigious imagination and talent. The high-rises cramming his massive pen-and-ink canvases spring from two inspirational sources: the American sci-fi movies and Japanese anime he saw as a child, and his memories of his journeys to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China.

His is an incredibly high-density monochromatic world —a hyperreal dimension that admits of only the industrial and the emotionless. These scenes devoid of humans and dominated by endlessly multiplying architectural structures are at once reflections of the artist’s own interiority, and metaverses of sorts that offer something of a restful alternative to reality.

“Yoshitomo Nara (Japanese edition)”

A landmark new study that brings to life the complexity and infinite worldview of Yoshitomo Nara.

Five chapters follow Yoshitomo Nara’s career from his early days in northeastern Japan and youthful embrace of music to his years of training at the Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music and in Germany, his internal struggles in the midst of his skyrocketing popularity in the 2000s, his renewed concern with his northern home region after the 2011 disaster, and his thoughts on the future. Covering his earliest to most recent works and drawing on long-term research, interviews, and a wealth of valuable sources, this extraordinary monograph is the fruit of close collaboration between Nara himself and an art historian whose work straddles Asia and the West.

📗Some 400 visual images, including Nara’s works, snapshots of his travels, and valuable source materials

📗Features nine new artworks exclusive to the Japanese edition

*This original edition was first published in the United Kingdom in 2022 by Phaidon Press Limited.

Here, the best book available to learn the latest theory of YOSHITOMO NARA!

The power of textile items born of need, wrought by anonymous hands, and worn over generation upon generation.
・
In times when cloth was much more precious, people in rural Japan thriftily stitched together scraps of fabric to make everything from garments to bedding. Although the practice no longer exists, the articles left behind have come to be celebrated as works of art and of textiles-so much so, in fact, that today they are known around the world simply by their Japanese name, boro. This book selects 500-plus examples of boro out of the more than 1,000 that the author has collected over thirty-five years. Wrap yourself in a compelling world of beauty shaped unconsciously by scores of unknown hands.
・
Kosaku Nukata, born in 1935 in the city of Higashi-Osaka in Osaka prefecture, is an artist, member of the Dokuritsu Fine Arts Society, ceramist, and dentist. He began collecting boro in the 1980s and now counts more than 1,000 items in his possession. In 2000 he exhibited his collection in Osaka to wide acclaim in Japan and around the world.
