Just added for PRE-ORDER, Takato Yamamoto's brand new book "Japonesthetique". Deeply exploring his roots and love for Ukiyo-e and traditional Japanese imagery, "Japonesthetique" is his own particular sense of aesthetics and Japonisme combined into an iconic book of geisha, samurai, demons, shunga, ghosts, spring scenes in kimono and everything you think of meaning "traditional Japan" (but still with his modern, crisp lines).
Signed regular edition is available as well as a few copies of the already sold out limited edition version. Arrival is expected early June +/-.
Folding fan is in stock and available now!

Two Em Nishizuka books new to AkaTako (actually published a couple years ago) have just been added! I've bought up all the remaining stock of these two so once they sell out, they can't be restocked. "Gray Sacred" is a bit more conceptual with an androgynous god theme and accompanying morbid poems (in Japanese). "Portrait 3" is full of caterpillar scarves, cute nurses, and botanical illustrations. BOTH are signed in black marker!

The XL format exhibition catalog for GIGER + SORAYAMA is now in stock! The exhibition was a collaboration between Alessio Ascari and Shinji Nanzuka, traveling around Japan and showcasing these two very different yet somehow similar artists. This catalog was shipped all the way to Tokyo (printed in Italy) to receive Hajime Sorayama's signature and then shipped back to AkaTako. Just a few pieces available!

Also just arrived, the general public reissue of the "Robot Catalogue" which was originally issued during his 2020 exhibition "Sex Matters" at Nanzuka Underground. This new book has very slight differences from the limited edition release. The cover is metallic/reflective silver (limited was a plain gray). There is now an ISBN (limited had only QR code). But interior content is the same!
