Countless pieces of cloth that have been spliced together and passed down from generation to generation. The handiwork of nameless people, born of poverty, overwhelms the viewer. Rags, which were created by the hands of nameless people in rural settlements and fishing villages during hard times, are now so highly regarded in the field of art and textiles that they are known around the world as "BORO". This book contains approximately 400 carefully selected pieces from a collection of more than a thousand collected by Kosaku Nukata over a period of 35 years.

Yamaguchi Akira daigamen sakuhinshū

New item: "A collection of exquisitely realized paintings, including examples of mixed-period 'rakuchū rakugai-zu' paintings of city scenes, and new works of 'fusuma' sliding door painting for Byōdōin Temple, 'musha-e' samurai fight scenes and various sketches. Long awaited, this is the first collection of Yamaguchi's work in eight years. While focusing on the true painterly expressiveness that is Yamaguchi's forte, this groundbreaking new collection also presents his tearoom-parody objets d'art, and his self-produced exhibitions that act as warning signals to the world of contemporary art, thereby providing an excellent overview of the multi-layered thought of Akira Yamaguchi.

360 degrees

I was researching different types of ways to present the book that I wanted to create and this is an interesting idea. I have a similar book (360) for The Little Prince and it is an interesting a beautiful way to build a story. How to create this type of book is quite interesting and I think it goes well with the BOCONO project.

シャルル・フレジェ写真集『CIMARRON シマロン　ブラック・アイデンティティ-　南北アメリカの仮装祭』（青幻舎）2019.3.10

今度は南北アメリカの祭りに登場するキャラクターたち。屋外でライティングして撮影されたポートレート写真集である。

フレジェは日本の関取や成人式の着飾った女性たちなどの、特定のコミュニティの人々を同じルールで撮影した作品から出発した写真家。「今度は」というのは、近年はヨーロッパ、日本の古い祭りに登場するキャラクターたちを被写体にしてきたからだ。

この写真集でも、撮影しつくしたのでは、と思えるような量と、同一ルールによるタイポロジー的な写真のクォリティは変わらない。

ページをめくるこちらは図鑑などでこうした撮影手法にはなれているが、図鑑のようなキリヌキ写真ではなく、フレームの中で一つの世界を完結させるのは見るほど簡単ではない。

加えて、広い地域に渡っての撮影ともなれば、リサーチと撮影のアポイントも困難である。そんな苦労話は写真集には書かれていないが、写真集『YOKAI NO SHIMA: 日本の祝祭万物に宿る神々の仮装』（2016、青幻舎）のときにインタビューしたので想像がつく。『YOKAI NO SHIMA』では、日本人のアシスタントが自治体の観光窓口に連絡し、撮影のためのアポイントを取り、扮装してもらって撮影したと言っていた。限られたロケの日程で撮影するためにはそうした事前準備が必要になる。また、写真のクォリティを上げることにも貢献しているだろう。

写真集としては、南北アメリカにアフリカから連れてこられた人たちが伝えてきた古いお祭りについての解説、各キャラクターの説明があり、図鑑としての楽しみ方もできる。

この1冊だけでなく、ヨーロッパの『Wilder Mann: 欧州の獣人-仮装する原始の名残』（2013、青幻舎）、日本の『YOKAI NO SHIMA』（ともに青幻舎）も合わせて見るともっと面白い。人間の想像力の発露であり、時代や場所を超えて人類に共通する無意識の表象でもある。

Handwritten Character Templates / Available at www.draw-down.com / This book reproduces and rearranges the entire archive of practical ornamental characters collected and edited by #MasahiroAnezaki in his Practical #Ornamental Characters and #Designs in 1926. At the outset of the 20th century, long before typesetting and words like #typography and lettering became established in #Japan, designers in the commercial art field carefully drew characters by hand, one at a time, directly onto a variety of media—on bills, flyers, signboards, posters, and more. Unlike what is seen in modern typography today, these handwritten characters contain a wealth of creativity and dynamism, reflective of the unconventional spirit of the time.

Encyclopedia of Flowers Vol.V

Azuma Makoko, Shiinoki Shunsuke

They set out to immortalize the pure beauty of flowers, faithfully and without thought for the self—and found themselves returning to the roots of their series.

This fifth volume in Encyclopedia of Flowers, the series that has been Azuma Makoto and Shiinoki Shunsuke’s consuming passion for more than a decade, was produced over a two-year period coinciding with the onset and devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the midst of their work, the floral-artist-and-photographer pair encountered a book about the origins of traditional ikebana that took up a group of monks in fifteenth-century Kyoto who, during a horrific famine, not only provided warm porridge and shelter but also arranged flowers to give people comfort and hope for the future. Moved by this episode and its resonances with the state of the world today, the authors, too, grew convinced that the one thing that they could—nay, should—do now was to go back to the roots of their art and offer flowers up for people through the pages of their book. Those offerings are presented in a format updated from previous volumes, with larger pages and almost complete lay-flat binding for an even more dynamic appreciative experience.

Floral artist Azuma Makoto held his first overseas solo show in New York and continues to exhibit highly experimental works primarily in Europe. In 2009 he established the Azuma Makoto Kaju Kenkyujo (AMKK) botanical lab, through which he presents projects around the world as part of his unique pursuit of plants and their beauty.

Shiinoki Shunsuke began botanical photography at the same time that Azuma embarked on his artistic career. In partnership with Azuma, he has dedicated himself to capturing the forms of life as they shift in aspect from moment to moment.

Bibliografia

Utsuwa Katachi: Ceràmica i formes japoneses

Tom Shoken

Editor Adp

ISBN 9784903348483

Idea Codi 16418

El món japonès utsuwa significa literalment "recipient" o "recipient", i es refereix generalment a qualsevol tipus de copa, plat, plat o olla. A diferència de la vaixella produïda en massa, la forma ceràmica espontània és momentània i fugaç, amb una calor inigualable i un plaer estètic. Aquesta forma d’art sorgeix de l’argila o matèria primera que s’utilitza, el gruix i el cabal del vidre i l’estat del forn. Una peça individual depèn del diferent equilibri entre tots aquests factors i cada peça és única; Es diu que les trobades amb utsuwa són experiències puntuals. Aquest llibre inclou peces magníficament fotografiades per una selecció de ceramistes especialitzats.

Sinopsis

En Occidente, el más poderoso aliado de la belleza ha sido siempre la luz. En cambio, en la estética tradicional japonesa lo esencial es captar el enigma de la sombra. Lo bello no es una sustancia en sí sino un juego de claroscuros producido por la yuxtaposición de las diferentes sustancias que va formando el juego sutil de las modulaciones de la sombra. Lo mismo que una piedra fosforescente en la oscuridad pierde toda su fascinante sensación de joya preciosa si fuera expuesta a plena luz, la belleza pierde toda su existencia si se suprimen los efectos de la sombra. En este ensayo clásico, escrito en 1933, Junichiro Tanizaki va desarrollando con gran refinamiento esta idea medular del pensamiento oriental, clave para entender el color de las lacas, de la tinta o de los trajes del teatro nô; para aprender a apreciar el aspecto antiguo del papel o de los reflejos velados en la pátina de los objetos; para prevenirnos contra todo lo que brilla; para captar la belleza en la llama vacilante de una lámpara y descubrir el alma de la arquitectura a través de los grados de opacidad de los materiales y el silencio y la penumbra del espacio vacío.

Ma – a estética do “entre” Ma (間) es un término japonés que podría traducirse como pausa, espacio, abertura o intervalo. No es simplemente un vacío o la ausencia de contenido sino que se trata de un espacio consciente, una respiración que permite poner en valor las otras partes de la obra o incluso crear nuevos significados. Según la filosofía japonesa, ese espacio estaría lleno de energía, y podría inducir un estado contemplativo en el cual es posible apreciar la expansión del espacio y del tiempo.
