The artist is known for photographing paper sculptures he creates and then destroying them. The resulting series of works depicts traces of what has been consumed and the remnants of what has been left behind. The artist bases his works on things he sees while traveling or walking, depicting a world that appears ordinary yet remains out of reach. The photographed colorful clothespins seem to dance on a rope, hovering between everyday life and illusion. Demand's work invites viewers into a different world made of paper. The imperfection of these paper sculptures highlights the discrepancy with real objects, complicating the relationship between reality and photography. Demand describes this series as being like haiku, where simple collected fragments provoke contemplation. Everyday objects become a trigger for déjà vu, leading to an awareness of a new beauty within the ordinary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook Title: THE DAILIES by Thomas Demand\u003cbr\u003ePages: 80 pages (hardcover)\u003cbr\u003eSize: 210 x 180 mm\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: MAC\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 2015","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749829640488,"sku":null,"price":5250.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/158508873.jpg?v=1777202481"},{"product_id":"書籍assemblage-6-unlearning-by-faye-toogood","title":"Book: ASSEMBLAGE 6, UNLEARNING by Faye Toogood","description":"A collection of works by Faye Toogood, a British artist and designer and co-founder of \"Toogood.\" This book captures the raw, early moments before the collection was completed. The project began with approximately 300 models of chairs, lamps, stools, and sofa beds, created using everyday materials found in the artist's studio, such as wire, cardboard, tape, and canvas. The essential aspects of the collection were already determined when these pure, unrefined models were made. Seventeen of these models were then created at actual size, and the book allows viewers to journey through the original models as if they were detouring through existing furniture and sculptures. This book delights in the sense of artifice seen in the final works, and the fact that an object is not always \"what it seems\" at first glance. The book begins with a short story by Sophie Mackintosh, a British novelist nominated for the Man Booker Prize, and concludes with an essay by Glenn Adamson, an American independent curator and writer, which explains the context of the entire collection and process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: ASSEMBLAGE 6, UNLEARNING by Faye Toogood\u003cbr\u003ePages: 448 pages (hardcover)\u003cbr\u003eSize: 220 x 145 mm\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: APARTAMENTO\u003cbr\u003eRelease date: 2021","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749829706024,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/158851196.png?v=1777202483"},{"product_id":"書籍ark-journal-volume-v-spring-summer-2021","title":"Book: ARK JOURNAL VOLUME V SPRING\/SUMMER 2021","description":"ARK JOURNAL, a biannual interior design magazine from Scandinavia, presents its 5th issue.

First published in 2004, this issue traces the roots of \"A Magazine,\" a Belgian magazine created at the beginning of the new century by Walter Van Beirendonck, one of the \"Antwerp Six\" (a group of Belgian fashion designers) and an educator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis issue is the first to bear the name of a maison in its title, following the inaugural issue and subsequent issues titled \"N°A,\" \"N°B,\" \"N°C,\" \"N°D,\" and \"N°E.\" This also reflected Margiela's spirit of emphasizing teamwork. Through Margiela's insightful curation, the existence of the maison's indispensable collaborators, who worked anonymously behind the scenes, is revealed through the pages. This issue does not focus solely on Margiela himself, but rather attempts to revive the maison's team activities through the words, photographs, and videos left by everyone involved with the maison, including staff, interns, models, artists, photographers, musicians, set designers, and filmmakers. The fact that its reissue has been eagerly awaited for nearly 20 years since its initial publication is a testament to \"A Magazine\"'s continuous delivery of timeless content. This issue also reveals that the Dadaist deconstructionist expression of \"destroying old structures and generating new ones,\" which permeated all of the maison's activities, from clothing to photography, casting, and communication, has not lost its uniqueness even today. Furthermore, the first edition has been perfectly reproduced, from the paper to the printing, and the back cover includes an explanatory text by the current editorial department about this reissue project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, this reissue comes with one unsigned photo print (240 mm x 180 mm) by either Mark Borthwick, Anders Edström, Marina Faust, Jonathan Hallam, Ola Rindal, or Ronald Stoops.

Even if the furniture completed with this book is durable for actual use, its importance lies solely in its educational value. This project aims to create furniture that can be easily assembled with just wood and nails, and it also teaches elementary techniques that encourage a critical eye towards what one is making.

BAST has adopted a proactive research approach to experiment with the diverse possibilities of each project. At each stage of the design process, they propose multiple different solutions. As a result, they do not follow a fixed formal method; instead, their projects undergo an evolutionary process. This leads architects to recall ideas of modern assemblage and montage: the structural unit is challenged by the superposition of logics, façade layers, colliding structures, and sections. The overall logic derives from resemblances, things that look like something else but are not exactly what we expect. These elements are mixed together; otherwise, the construction site would quickly descend into chaos. The structural principle provides the logic, and the design sequence brings these elements together. Once the design principle has been defined, regardless of whether the window frame is here or there, the catalyst is already in place. The fragments can then be assembled with an eye to a promising future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e書籍名：2G No. 89 BAST\u003cbr\u003e頁数：160ページ（ソフトカバー）\u003cbr\u003eサイズ：230 x 300 mm\u003cbr\u003e発行元：WALTHER KÖNIG\u003cbr\u003e発売日：2023年","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749830623528,"sku":"7025401002","price":7800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/184175472.jpg?v=1777202511"},{"product_id":"70254010030-書籍2g-no-90-johansen-skovsted","title":"Book: 2G No. 90 JOHANSEN SKOVSTED","description":"The 90th issue of the Spanish architecture magazine \"2G Magazine\" features Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter, an architectural design firm based in Denmark.

It brings together three books, taped together, based on the artist's three new series: \"Dearest\" (2018), \"Empty Every Night\" (2019), and \"Settings\" (2019-2021). The main text uses various types of paper, with translucent paper especially leveraging its layered quality to create a playful and effective visual display.\n\nThe artist, acclaimed for her unique perspective on the nature and expression of contemporary sculpture, creates works that accumulate and layer visual details, developing them into something captivating, drawing influences and contexts from a diverse range of forms—from the domestic to the industrial, from functionality to ornamentation.\n\nDesigned by Irma Boom, one of today's most highly regarded graphic designers, this book presents a unique approach to creation by revealing the sources, visual imagery, and relationships that led to the expression of the artist's three emblematic series mentioned above. The form of \"the book\" is conceived as a space that allows for a closer, more intimate connection with the artist's work. Various materials such as 3D technical renderings, production plans, life-size models, samples, and research photos, along with detailed close-ups and evolving views of the works, are presented alternately. By making her works, production processes, and research materials public, the artist allows readers to decipher her unique approach: the circulation of motifs from one medium to another, her perspective on hierarchy, expression, and production systems, and her exploration of the balance observed in nature and technology, and the impact of human activity in post-industrial society.\n\nThis book offers the highest praise to the artist's ongoing reflections on \"objecthood\" and the peculiar yet rebellious effects of the objects and forms she creates. Comprising three independent volumes, brought together using various types of paper, this book is an object that possesses power in itself.\n\nIt includes three contributed essays analyzing the artist's activities from an art-historical and literary perspective: \"Leather and Logistics\" by art critic and curator Anthony Huberman, \"The Other Hour\" by writer and art historian Philomena Epps, and \"A Love Affair\" by artist and writer Sean Burns.\n\nEdited by Frederik Pesch and Irma Boom of \"Irma Boom Office.\"\n\nTitle: DEAREST by Magali Reus\nPages: 288 pages\nSize: 240 x 320 mm\nPublisher: JRP|EDITIONS\nYear of publication: 2019","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749830852904,"sku":"7025401037","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/189008287.jpg?v=1777202519"},{"product_id":"70254010280-書籍donald-judd-furniture-by-donald-judd","title":"Book: DONALD JUDD FURNITURE by Donald Judd","description":"A collection of works by American artist Donald Judd.\n\n\"Art in a chair is not about being art, but about a certain rationality, utility, and scale as a chair.\"\n\nThis book features over 100 pieces of furniture designed by the artist.

This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition held from April to July 2024 at X sign Space in Hangzhou, China, one of the few design-focused exhibition spaces in the country. This exhibition marked OK-RM's first large-scale exhibition in Asia.\n\nThis book is the result of discussions held in London and Berlin between OK-RM and James Langdon, a Berlin-based graphic designer and writer. It was created and recreated as an idea for the book itself. Several versions were discussed aloud, pondered, and rejected. Before this book took on its physical form, it began as a written manifesto and gained aggregation and structure by taking shape as an exhibition in Hangzhou. The negotiations during its production as a product of industrial design brought weight and uniqueness to the pages. The final stage sought a collection of synchronicity, where a sequence of technical parameters mirrored the content and rhythm.\n\nTitled \"A Meaningful Order,\" this book comprises 328 pages and presents a new history of the shared reality in design. It expresses designed objects on their own terms, giving an account of vision, material, and curiosity. In terms of printing, it brings together multi-spot color lithographic printing techniques, featuring a curated selection of works from OK-RM's extensive archive spanning over 16 years.\n\nThis book is a space dedicated to research and experimentation, detached from academic structures. It has generated examples, prototypes, and trials. Across 26 chapters arranged alphabetically from A to Z, it presents a dialogue drawn in a style befitting designers, performing with a bold and uninhibited playfulness with language, direction, and storytelling. It captures an ongoing dialogue by its editors, who are creators and thinkers of design. It also includes a lengthy discussion in the form of an interview with architect Jack Self, introduced by Lila Matsumoto, an editor and poet who specializes in teaching poetry and creative writing.\n\nIn this social context, the book is an everyday material and an object of artistic expression. It considers designed objects and the meaning that emerges from the interaction of form and context. What does it do? Why does it do it? How is it done? It presents new ideas about how designed objects relate to the culture they have produced and the culture they can create. These ideas strive for clarity and transparency but do not sacrifice transcendence, or going beyond limits.\n\nTitle: A MEANINGFUL ORDER by OK-RM\nPages: 328 pages\nSize: 227 x 320 mm\nPublisher: IN OTHER WORDS\nPublication Year: 2025","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749831213352,"sku":"7025401041","price":11800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/189013263.jpg?v=1777202530"},{"product_id":"70254010420-書籍la-casa-dentro-by-formafantasma","title":"Book: LA CASA DENTRO by Formafantasma","description":"A collection of works by Formafantasma, a duo consisting of Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Modernism developed in the early 20th century, alongside industrial innovation, as a rejection of the \"effeminacy\" characterized by 19th-century eclecticism.

This book employs a picture-book-like approach, blending fiction with scientific research to foster new ecological literacy in both young and adult readers.\n\nThe Winterslag coal mine in Genk, Belgium, which thrived in the 1900s, closed in 1988 due to changing times. As they sought a new role for the site, the idea of making it a hub for creative industries emerged in 2000, and the \"C-mine\" project was launched in 2005. It now serves a new role as a center for industrial development while also functioning as a cultural facility.\n\nThis book was born from C-mine's request to the artists to produce a work as part of a residency program, exploring the nature of the former industrial site and its ongoing purpose. It delves into the complex relationships between humans, the environment, and other living beings.\n\nThe work is structured in two parts, beginning with a story illustrated by artist Clément Vuillier. It tells of a child who falls into a hole in a field on a former mining site and embarks on a journey through the hidden layers of the earth, encountering unexpected life forms that transform his worldview. The second part includes a critical essay by film and photography historian Teresa Castro, interviews and discussions by the artists with Natalie Beenaerts, who specializes in biology and teaches, Roland Dreesen, who researches geology, Dirk Maes, a senior researcher at the Research Institute for Nature and Forest, and microbiologist François Rineau, as well as contributions written by Louise Osieka and the artists.\n\nThe artists were inspired by educational works left by figures such as Enzo Mari, known as an artist and a master of the design world, and Bruno Munari, an artist, graphic designer, product designer, educator, researcher, and author of children's books, who was active in various fields. Visiting C-mine and being stimulated by the sight of life breathing in a landscape ravaged by humans, a former coal mine, they questioned the concepts of void and decay. They wanted to create a story that conveys to readers that even seemingly lifeless post-industrial areas can be seen as thriving ecosystems. At a time when the Earth and humanity face complex challenges, the book encourages us to reconsider the narrative created by \"extractivists\" (those who engage in large-scale exploitation of resources), deepen our understanding of change, and re-examine the possibilities of harmonious coexistence and cooperation.\n\nTitle: DOWN UNDER by Formafantasma\nPages: 208 pages\nSize: 170 x 240 mm\nPublisher: NERO EDITIONS\nPublication Year: 2025","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749831475496,"sku":"7025401044","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/189016473.jpg?v=1777202539"},{"product_id":"70254010450-書籍can-lis-j216rn-utzon-by-j248rn-utzon","title":"Book: CAN LIS, JØRN UTZON by Jørn Utzon","description":"A collection of works by Danish architect Jørn Utzon.

Through these contexts, it is their collaborations with contemporary artists such as Thomas Demand and Damien Hirst that continue to shape their relationship with the materiality and drama of space.\n\nThe book covers their most famous projects, from work on historic buildings such as the Tate Britain and the Barbican Centre, to new projects such as the Newport Street Gallery, opened by Hirst to display his art collection, and the Europaallee mixed-use complex in Zurich. In addition, it features exhibition designs, competition entries, and lesser-known projects, as well as an unprecedented range of materials, including unpublished drawings, references, and new commentaries.\n\nThe cultural environment behind the work can be glimpsed from contemporary criticisms, essays, and diverse writings that influenced the authors' thinking and education, including those of British poet and literary critic T. S. Eliot, art critic and theorist Rosalind Krauss, and architect Louis Sullivan. The references and architectural works interspersed between these projects and lectures encourage us to turn our attention to the \"alchemy of everyday life\" that has the potential to transform our understanding of the world and how we continue to build it.\n\nTitle: COLLECTED WORKS: VOLUME 2 2000–2012 by Caruso St John\nPages: 464 pages\nSize: 220 x 260 mm\nPublisher: MACK\nPublication Year: 2022","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749831803176,"sku":"7025401050","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/189027827.jpg?v=1777202550"},{"product_id":"70254010510-書籍cloud-physics-by-terri-weifenbach","title":"Book: CLOUD PHYSICS by Terri Weifenbach","description":"A collection of works by Terri Weifenbach, an American photographer based in Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow do we perceive our environment?

The brand launched in the summer of 1997, opening its first store in Los Angeles that same year. They then held their first guerrilla street fashion show in SoHo, New York, a now infamous moment in the brand's history, where they hunted for women on the street and had them walk the runway as models.\n\nThis book is a record of the moments of this show, produced by Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze, and launched by Kim Gordon and Daisy von Furth, as captured by the artist.\n\nThe artist was not called to photograph the show; she simply photographed it. The negatives of that day were never printed and moved from apartment to apartment and house to house with each relocation, so they would have been considered lost if anyone had looked for them. In 2024, those negatives were found. They were stuck to the bag they were in, damaged, and slightly faded in color. The artist might have forgotten the photographs, but she clearly remembered her time in New York.\n\nChloë Sevigny, an actress, fashion designer, and model who was a customer of X-girl at the time, and Michele Lockwood, an artist and surfer who also became the model for the brand's iconic face logo, also participated as models. The foreword to this book was written by Chloë Sevigny and perfectly captures the spirit of this project.\n\n\"It was supposed to be spring, but it was freezing. The X-girl anti-establishment fashion show, born of romance and a love for chaos, happened right there on the street.\n\nSpike Jonze co-directed the Sonic Youth music video '100%,' and Sofia Coppola and I appeared in the 'Mildred Pierce' and 'Sugar Kane' videos. So, we were all orbiting the Sonic Youth universe. Sofia and Spike were getting serious at the time, so they planned this show as an opportunity to spend more time together. Daisy von Furth, X-girl's co-designer and mastermind, was like indie royalty. Her sister Julie was famous as the guitarist and vocalist for Pussy Galore and Free Kitten. Daisy styled all the rockers and created a new style that symbolized the indie aesthetic of the 1990s. The combination of Kim and Daisy's love for perfect A-line dresses, fitted ringer T-shirts, and their aesthetic eye for amazing graphics became a sure fire way to make girls happy. West Coast nepo babies met NY indie kids and declared that streetwear was for girls too. They weren't necessarily interested in a \"fashion show,\" but the enthusiasm of the loving couple must have been contagious.\n\nI worked as a 'fit model' for the brand, and Daisy let me crash on her couch since high school. That afternoon, all of us 'models' gathered at Daisy's loft on Crosby Street and got dressed in our looks. I don't remember who was wearing the children's barrettes, but I think it was Courtney Love. Sofia brought Ione Skye, Zoe Cassavetes, and Donovan Leitch, who were considered part of the 'Brat Pack,' a group of young actors. We New Yorkers were Kim Gordon's people, and we'd do anything. Pumpkin Wentzel, Luisa Reichenheim, Michele Lockwood, Jutta Koether, and other downtown personalities were cast as 'models.'\n\nThe show took place a few blocks away on a slightly raised section of the sidewalk on Mercer Street. It started just as Linda Evangelista, Kyle MacLachlan, Bill Cunningham, and the press were leaving after the latest Marc Jacobs collection show. We were so excited and dazzled. The exhilaration captured in Angela's photos is a combination of being part of something that rarely happens. We broke the rules of 'fashion' and the rules of the city without permission or approval, and we froze our butts off.\"\n\n– Chloë Sevigny\n\nBook Title: X-GIRL SHOW by Angela Hill\nPages: 80 pages\nSize: 215 x 265 mm\nPublisher: IDEA\nYear of Publication: 2025","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749832163624,"sku":"7025401056","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/189049873.jpg?v=1777202560"},{"product_id":"70254010570-書籍the-shakers-a-world-in-the-making","title":"Book: The Shakers: A World in the Making","description":"A collection of works introducing the output of the \"Shakers,\" a denomination of Protestant Christianity known for their design philosophy that prioritizes simplicity and functionality.

While it is rare for their works to be exhibited together, many commonalities can be observed. Although they never met, both shared a creative approach that continuously pursued differences and possibilities, while applying unique methods to color, shape, form, and structure. Influenced by Paul Cézanne, both were masters of optical illusion and proportion, and despite their differing perspectives, they shared similar sources of inspiration.

The book's clear documentation, which guides those newly creating documents at NASA, stands in stark contrast to the mainstream vocabulary in today's communication field. As a physical book, it is worthy of the interest it has garnered, fully demonstrating the effort and care put into how it is presented. Furthermore, it possesses a high degree of usability for ensuring instructions and proposals are organized, understood, and executed effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: NASA, DANNE \u0026amp; BLACKBURN’S GRAPHICS STANDARDS MANUAL [REPRINTED EDITION]\u003cbr\u003ePages: 164 pages\u003cbr\u003eSize: 232 x 310 mm\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: EMPIRE\u003cbr\u003ePublication Year: 2024","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749832458536,"sku":"7025401061","price":5200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/189050722.jpg?v=1777202567"},{"product_id":"70254010620-書籍portrait-of-j-by-takashi-homma-signed","title":"Book: PORTRAIT OF J by Takashi Homma [SIGNED]","description":"A collection of works by Japanese photographer Takashi Homma. This photobook features 111 portraits of Japanese people taken between 2002 and recent years. Paying homage to the influence of \"mentors\" such as Pritzker Prize-winning architect Arata Isozaki and Takuma Nakahira, co-founder and inaugural editor of the legendary photography magazine \"PROVOKE\" published from 1968 to 1970, Homma simultaneously captures a wide range of professions and life experiences of people of all generations who are still active today, expressing them in the form of portraits. Carrying a quiet strength and undeniable clarity that seeps through the stillness, the book invites us to gaze intently and deeply consider the everyday yet extraordinary visages of the \"faces\" that shape the social and cultural structure of contemporary Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the past 40 years, the artist has produced various works and become one of the most influential figures in the Japanese photography world today. From his early works following suburban Tokyo landscapes in \"Tokyo Suburbia\" (1998, Korinsha Publishing) to conceptual explorations of architecture, nature, and urban history, he has consistently challenged and expanded the role of photography in visual culture. The artist's influence extends not only within Japan but also internationally, with exhibitions and publications contributing to the emergence and development of a global dialogue surrounding identity, place, and the evolution of the visual language presented in photobooks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book joins the rich tradition of socially engaged portraiture, echoing groundbreaking masterpieces such as August Sander's \"Face of Our Time\" (1929), Irving Penn's \"Small Trades\" (photographed and printed: 1950s-1960s, published as a book: 2009), and more recently, Wolfgang Tillmans' \"Portraits\" (2002), Rineke Dijkstra's series of adolescents, and Paul Graham's \"End of an Age\" (1999). In Japan, works like Shomei Tomatsu's series of portraits intimately depicting daily life after the war, Yoshihiko Ueda's \"Portrait\" (2003 \/ popular edition: 2022) documenting Japanese masters who lived through the Showa era, Hiroo Kikai's \"Asakusa Portraits\" (2008), Issei Suda's \"Tokyo Scenery\" (2013), and Katsumi Watanabe's \"Shinjuku Gunto-den 66\/73\" (1973) have captured the individuality and quiet dignity of anonymous people living in Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat distinguishes this book is its deliberate focus on ordinary individuals, photographed with the same deep attention and respect that is sometimes directed towards cultural icons. This collection of portraits was primarily taken in familiar urban settings, where the locations themselves possess a spotlight-like quality that reveals the psychological depths of the subjects. Homma's approach is not as overtly political as Shomei Tomatsu's portraits, encompasses a broader range of Japanese people than Hiroo Kikai or Katsumi Watanabe, and reveals more humanity than Yoshihiko Ueda. Homma's portraits are guided by a desire and empathy to observe people as they are, free from artifice and staging. The result is a more comprehensive and nuanced visual representation of Japanese identity, expanding the scope of the lens through which both domestic and international observers can view it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJapan, with its aesthetics, traditions, and technological innovations, has captivated people not only in the United States and European countries but also around the world. However, the reality of Japanese life has often been idealized, misunderstood, and overlooked. This book is particularly significant in that it provides a platform for a Japanese photographer to speak directly, intentionally, and introspectively through his work, presenting a grounded and authentic portrait of contemporary Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSystematic yet deeply personal, this collection serves as a quiet yet powerful landmark in the artist's long career, and simultaneously, as an intimate and timely archive of the people who have shaped Japan today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook Title: PORTRAIT OF J by Takashi Homma [SIGNED]\u003cbr\u003ePages: 232 pages\u003cbr\u003eSize: 200 x 280 mm\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: DASHWOOD BOOKS, SESSION PRESS\u003cbr\u003ePublication Year: 2025","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749832524072,"sku":"7025401062","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6373\/0728\/files\/189050747.jpg?v=1777202569"}],"url":"https:\/\/ata-w.jp\/en\/collections\/book.oembed?page=5","provider":"ataW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
