"A Life with Pigs" Toshiteru Yamaji

Toshiteru Yamaji's work is his photograph records of Hiroshi Kamimura, a pig farmer who dedicated his life to the animals with a passion.

A father raising 1,200 pigs at a pig farm in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture. Pigs raised based on the belief of the father that "lovely raised pigs become pork that people feel delicious". The pig in the picture looks to be laughing. The joy of living together for a limited time.

Every life is shining in a muddy pig farm.

This is a long-awaited new issue containing unrecorded photos of the popular "Pigs and Papa" (2010, Foil) work.

“All about Saul Leiter”

An only-from-Japan exploration of the photographer’s art and philosophy.

Photography lovers the world over are now embracing Saul Leiter, who has enjoyed a remarkable revival since fading into relative obscurity in the 1980s. This collection takes a Japanese perspective into the secrets of his appeal, from his life philosophy and lyricism to masterful colors and compositions reminiscent of ukiyo-e.

Some two hundred works—including early street photographs, images for advertising, nudes, and paintings—cover Leiter’s career from the 1940s onward, accompanied by quotations from the artist himself that express his singular worldview.

Selected by artist Todd Hido as one of photo-eye online bookstore’s Best Books of 2017.
・
Saul Leiter was born in 1923 in Pittsburgh. He pioneered a painterly approach to color photography in the 1940s and produced covers for fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar before largely withdrawing from public attention in the 1980s. The publication of his first collection, Early Color, by Steidl in 2006 inspired an avid “rediscovery” that has since led to worldwide exhibitions and the release of a documentary, In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter (2014).

"Futuristic Illustrations for Kids of the Showa Era - Our 21st Century"

🛸A collection of sci-fi illustrations for children who have a ridiculous imagination and nostalgia!🚀👽
🌟A long-selling children's illustration series🌟

"Evacuation from Earth," "Tokyo 2061," "Artificial Sun in a World Without Night," "A Computer Manufacturing Human Beings." This book presents a collection of futuristic conceptual illustrations found in magazines for kids from the 1950s to the 1970s. During this period, most of the illustrated articles anticipating what life would be like in the 21st century were a nonsensical parade of daydream, fantasy, and wild flights of imagination. The illustrations are grouped into 6 categories : everyday life, modes of transportation, robots, computers, space and the end of the world. Now that we are the "people of the future" living in the real 21st century, let's travel back in time to the "lost 21st century" that the Showa era adults were so absorbed in creating---- utopias full of hopes and dreams as well as doomed landscapes of deathtopias. 🚀

Illustrations of the Strange, Mysterious, and Bizarre for Kids of the Showa Era
Our Unknown Worlds of the 1960s-70s

👹👾A collection of occult illustrations for children who have a magical imagination and nostalgia!
A long-selling children's illustration series 👻🌟

The occult fad of the 1960s-70s greatly excited children. This book is a collection of illustrations by Shigeru Komatsuzaki, Gojin Ishihara, Takashi Minamimura, and other master illustrators that appeared at that time in a variety of media for children on strange, mysterious, sand bizarre themes. The illustrations are presented in five categories: psychic, unexplored regions, grotesque, cold-blooded and savage, and hysteria and insanity. Such strange and bizarre illustrations were standard content in occult magazines of the period and greatly popular with boys and girls. Kids consumed the magazines in large quantity but threw them away after reading them, so most of the wonderful illustrations have continued to live only in their memories.

The strange, mysterious, and bizarre illustrations in this book are a legacy of rich imagination that brings back the excitement they inspired in a past age for readers to enjoy anew.

New Reprinted Edition
A Compilation of Contemporary Letter Designs

Each of the letters in this compilation of letter designs was hand-drawn. These letter designs, also called lettering, differ from the fonts that are stored as existing data in computers. All of the letter designs, newly created by the graphic designer to match the words and phrases expressed or the particular medium employed, are imbued with originality and power. This book is a complete collection of all of the letter designs contained in A Compilation of Contemporary Letter Designs, which was originally published in 1934 and became a best selling letter design collection. The letter designs in this superb collection by Katsumi Tsuji, a graphic designer who was active in the Taisho and Showa periods, appear fresh and new in any age in which they are seen. The world of elegant letter designs presented in this reprint of the original book includes not only a large number of special lettering designs but also product names and company logos of well-known companies still seen today, family crests, prefectural and city government badges, and school badges.
