Takashi Murakami: The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg
This landmark publication accompanies a major retrospective exhibition of Takashi Murakami’s paintings. Although other volumes on Murakami in English address the crossover between his fine art and commercial output, this book presents the first serious consideration of his work as a painter. It provides a sustained consideration of the artist’s relationship to the tradition of Japanese painting and his facility in straddling high and low, ancient and modern, eastern and western, commercial and high art. Lavishly illustrated with large-scale images of works that span his art student days to now—many reproduced together for the first time—the book contextualizes Murakami’s output in postwar Japan with essays that situate the artist in relation to folklore, traditional Japanese painting Nihonga, the Tokyo art scene in the 1980s and 1990s, and the threat of nuclear annihilation. The volume includes essays by curator Michael Darling, Michael Dylan Foster, Chelsea Foxwell, Reuben Keehan, and Akira Mizuta Lippit, as well as a biography and exhibition history, selected bibliography, and index.

The Art of yoco: For Eternity and a Second
Softcover, 152 pages, 8.25 x 5.75 inches.
yoco is an illustrator who is active mainly in the BL (boys’ love) genre and who is particularly known for her exquisite, painterly illustration style. Her dramatic compositions evoke pure scenes of longing, while also fulfilling a slightly voyeuristic desire to take a peek inside a beautiful, ephemeral world of pure and delicate boys and young men, rendered in pale colors and fine lines, but also with a hint of melancholy and shadow. The Art of yoco For Eternity and a Second is the long-awaited first collection of the artist’s illustrations and paintings that have appeared in many BL novels, along with newly drawn illustrations.

Little Thunder on KAI (Via Gallerie LeMonde):
Back in 2017, I met Kai when she came to my exhibition '# ME.' She was just a middle school student at that time. Then, in 2020, during a signing event , a girl told me it was her 18th birthday. I wrote 'Happy Birthday' next to my signature, and that girl was Kai. I've always remembered that moment.
In the summer of 2024, I saw some cool artworks on Instagram and realized the artist was the birthday girl from years ago! She's studying in Tokyo, since I was going Tokyo too, I thought it would be great to meet up. When we finally met, it felt like we had known each other forever. We drew together, walking around Harajuku, and she took me to the photoism spot. Every time we get together, we just draw together.
Kai inspired me a lot, and with Yoshi's help, we started our exchange diary THUNDER 'N' SEA!

KAI on Little Thunder (Via Gallerie LeMonde):
I first Little Thunder on my 18th birthday in Hong Kong at her fan-sign event four years ago. Back then, I was graduating high school soon and Little Thunder's works have always been a source of inspiration for me. We met officially at i2 cafe in Tokyo this year, and drew for the entire afternoon before walking around the area in Harajuku, Tokyo. Little Thunder remembered Gallery LE MONDE, where she held a solo exhibition in 2019, and we visited there together. Yoshi who is the owner of the gallery was surprised to see Little Thunder, and that night we all went our for dinner. After showing Yoshi our drawings of each other from the day, he proposed that we do an exchange diary project together.Being able to be in such close conversation with Little Thunder feels like talking to an older sister ,or as I like to call her , 'MAMI(媽咪)' A lot of the emotions I may not be able to talk about seems to be understood by her, and for some reason, it really felt like I grew up with her. I'm really grateful that I was able to collaborate and get to know Little Thunder through art, and this relationship is something I really cherish.

Tokyo Genso Art Works
Softcover, 144 pages, measures 10.12 x 7.17 inches.
Text is in Japanese, though book is mostly visual.
Tokyo Genso is a creator who depicts a ruined city of Tokyo with stunning creativity. Here is an ephemerally beautiful world where impossible scenes of the future stimulate the imagination.
The charm of these works lies in the fantastical worldview, in which various scenes from contemporary Japan, including Shibuya 109, Shibuya’s Scramble Crossing, Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree and Ginza, are reduced to ruins.
“What I want to draw most is the moment of rising up (after a collapse) and taking a step forward. That’s because there are things that can only be seen when we are lost or feeling down, and these things are a new world and a new hope.” (@TOKYO GENSO)
The ruined Tokyo landscape as drawn by Tokyo Genso is characterized by verdant trees and clear blue skies, giving a sense of natural beauty.
We hope you will thoroughly enjoy these vividly depicted scenes.
