For his works, the materials Yoshitomo Nara, one of the most cerebrated Japanese artists, has choses was "Clay"!
Since having visited Shigaraki, a mecca of ceramics, as a part of residency program in 2007, Yoshitomo Nara has been fascinated with the material of clay and produced ceramic works for the past three years. Those works were introduced at Tomio Koyama Gallery in the last May for the first time in public and gave us a great surprise and aroused public responses.
Including works of 3 meter size objet, dolls with archaic smiles, and small vases and plates made with traditional techniques of pottery wheels and hand-painting, in total 161 works are presented in this book, revealing very new world of Yoshitomo Nara with intimate collaborations with a photographer Chie Morimoto, a close of Nara.
The 300mm-big size also enables you to look in fine details and to your heart's contents. The full list of the ceramic works ever produced is also included in the end of this book.

The journey of Yoshitomo Nara+graf finally got to an old brick house in Hirosaki-city, Aomori prefecture in Japan in the summer of 2006. All the huts created in the past exhibitions were gathered there and new huts were additionally created and also installed. As a result, there emerged a town of 44 huts in total - it was the “A to Z” exhibition that no one had ever seen before. In this book, you can visit and see each hut one by one as if walking along an alley in the town and trace their whole journey. The “A to Z” town appears in the book again in detail with production episodes vividly depicted by Yoshitomo Nara and Hideki Toyoshima (graf) and with lots of visual images such as sketches and photos. It also includes their episodes in the places they visited through the past touring of the exhibitions and the passion of all the people joined this project. Lots of early artworks by Yoshitomo Nara, which have rarely been shown to the public ever, are also included in this catalogue as well as many new works created for “A to Z”. In column pages you can read a variety of columns and essays to see the history of the artist Yoshitomo Nara from a different point of view, such as the story about the history of Nara’s own hut experiences and the essay on cafe´s as daily art scenes. At the end of the book, an interview with Yoshitomo Nara and Hideki Toyoshima (graf) is included. This is the complete catalogue of the “A to Z” exhibition on which you can see everything about this unprecedented exhibition.

This is revised version of Yoshitomo Nara "Slashi with a Knife" originally published by Little More in December 1998.

Yoshitomo Nara Exhibition "From the Depth of My Drawer" debuted in October 2004.
The exhibited works have been created since the late 80's when Nara had began seriously producing. The exhibition has started at the Hara Museum which once served as a private residence, followed by the Kanaz Forest of Creation Fukui and the Yonago City Museum of Art. At each site, unique exhibition spaces were originally produced in collaboration with the creative design group graf from Osaka.
This book introduces not only the exhibited works, but also the appeal of the installation by photo, text and plans of each site, which will surely satisfy the people visited the exhibition as well as who couldn't.
