May 13, 2021

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 New Em Nishizuka Books
Apr 7, 2021

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!
