For manga enthusiasts, a feast for the eyes!
・
In 1814 the ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai published a handbook of sketches titled Hokusai manga. Fourteen more volumes followed over the next decades, for a series totaling more than 4,000 illustrations over 970 pages; not only did the publication surpass its initial ambitions to serve as a reference for aspiring artists, it grew into a bestseller and enduring favorite. Now available in a compact and reorganized but complete modern reprint, the sketches present in concentrated form all the themes, motifs, and drawing techniques to be found in Hokusai’s art.

Delight in the spirited and richly narrative caricatures, satirical drawings, and multiple-panel “comic strips,” and you’ll surely understand why this landmark body of work is considered one of the roots of today’s manga.
・
Volume 1, The Life and Manners of the Day, brings together depictions of life in Edo-period Japan, from people and mores right down to daily household articles.

Volume 2, The Whole Earth Catalogue, brings together depictions of the wonders of nature, from water and weather to all manner of creatures both real and fantastical.

Volume 3, Fanciful, Mythical and Supernatural, brings together depictions of the world of imagination, from legends and fairy tales to gods and ghosts and other beings beyond human ken.

‘The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka
THE ATAKA COLLECTION 101: Masterpiece Selection’

@moco_press
@senokuhakukokanmuseum_tokyo
・
This catalogue marks the first-ever exhibition of the "Ataka Collection" to be just started today at the Sen-Oku Hakukokan Museum, which houses and exhibits the artworks of the Sumitomo [one of the largest Japanese business groups, founded during the early Edo period (17th century)] family.
・
・
101 masterpieces from a miraculous collection—and the miraculous story of how it exists today at all.
・
“A collector of madness and decorum”: that was how one television documentary characterized the entrepreneur, tea connoisseur, and art collector Eiichi Ataka (1901–1994). Guided by his unerring sense of beauty—a sense unfettered by conventional evaluations of ceramics as tea-ceremony utensils, objects of appreciation, or antiques—Ataka gave shape to a collection that is fabled around the world. Less known, meanwhile, is the story of how, following the bankruptcy of Ataka’s firm in the 1970s, the Sumitomo Group saved his world-class collection from dispersal by donating it to the city of Osaka and helping to found the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, as its new home.
・
The book presents 101 carefully selected ceramics—including two National Treasures and eleven Important Cultural Properties—out of a total of some 1,000 pieces, along with a discussion by two key figures behind the 1970s transfer of ownership that gives an insider look into how this miraculous collection has been able to endure to this day.

‘The Absence of Two’
Artist: Akihito Yoshida
・
This year's #KimuraIheiAward Nominee, Akihito Yoshida's previous photo book.
・
Absent, yet still here: a poignant tribute to two lives.

For three years, photographer Akihito Yoshida chronicled the lives of his grandmother and cousin in a small town in the southern Japanese prefecture of Miyazaki. Theirs was a loving existence, filled with unassuming yet precious moments—until it all suddenly ended with his cousin’s disappearance...

This is the revised trade edition of a collection, previously only available in 111 self-published copies, whose images touched hearts at the 2017 #Kyotographie photography festival (under the title 'Falling Leaves') and other showings around the world.

Rikako Yagi is a star on the rise. No sooner did she make her debut in 2016 at age fourteen than she was tapped to appear in promotional campaigns for “Pocari Sweat” sports drinks, a coveted job known as the gateway to success for many a young Japanese actress. A Grand Prize in the Miss Seventeen 2016 competition sponsored by Japan’s Seventeen magazine got her off to a start as an exclusive model for that publication, and her schedule is packed with appearances in a host of TV shows and feature films.

Pitter-Patter follows this budding talent over three and a half years, from age seventeen to twenty, through the eyes of Masumi Ishida, an up-and-coming twenty-three-year-old photographer known for her promotional visuals for Calorie Mate nutrition bars as well as work in some of Japan’s top fashion magazines.

‘All I Need Is My Cats’
Artist: Chen Pei Yi
@chen_pei_yi
・
The endearing joy of a life with cats: a collection by one of the foremost practitioners of cat painting in Asia today.
・
Taiwanese painter Chen Pei Yi is an exciting talent in today’s Asian art scene. Her cats, rendered using traditional East Asian methods, are portrayed in affectionate individual detail right down to the textures of their fur; thick built-up layers of traditional ground pigments form intricate patterns on the plush carpets lining their living spaces, evoking a decidedly Asian ambience. The cats’ intimate expressions and demeanor, of the kind that they would only show before someone who lives and works with them day after day, attest not only to Chen’s artistic virtuosity but also to the utter trust she shares with her beloved felines.

This first collection by Chen presents fifty-three paintings, including some all new, together with a statement by the artist and photographs of her at work with her cats.
・
Chen Pei Yi was born in 1984 in Taichung, Taiwan, and completed a master’s degree in fine arts at Tunghai University. Her cat paintings brought her to the attention of nihonga artist Yasunari Ikenaga, with whom she held a joint exhibition in 2017 in Tokyo. She primarily shows her work in Taiwan, including at the Art Taipei and Art Formosa annual art fairs.
