● Mimi-o (Art/Picture Book) - Release Date: 2001 - Author: Tomoko Kounoike (Contemporary Artist) - Publisher: Seigensha - Format: Hardcover / A4 size (72 pages) - Price: 2,300 yen + tax (Out of print) ＜Other＞ This picture book, themed around contemporary artist Tomoko Kounoike's "Mimi-o," tells the story of Mimi-o's journey through the five senses across the four seasons. The world depicted with soft lines and poetic words is wonderful, and I think it's a book that adults can enjoy as an art collection rather than just a picture book. I have always liked the artist's work, and I am fascinated by the balance of the knife motif, which is often used in the organic world. The spread "Scatter the Lights" in this book is a personal favorite. This is a valuable book that has already finished being reprinted, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a new, like-new item from a [fine art used book] seller. We ask that those who understand used and old books make a purchase.
