Description from the seller
Butsu Butsu
Signed, Takashi Honma
Book Peak/2012/japanese/158*215*20
Genichiro Inokuma (1902–1993) was a leading postwar Japanese painter who studied under Henri Matisse and continued to create abstract and provocative works while based in Japan and New York. This book, *Monomon*, features objects collected by Inokuma and his wife Fumiko from around the world, as well as his own prototypes. The items were curated by stylist Miyoko Okao, photographed by Takashi Homma, and edited and designed by graphic designer Atsumi Kikuchi. While Shunji Okura’s *The Painter’s Toy Box* is a famous collection of Inokuma’s possessions, this book presents each item—ranging from traditional folk crafts to industrial goods, furniture, dolls, and toys—against a white background. The sheer variety of these objects reflects Inokuma’s unique artistic sensibility, and the Zen-like exchanges between Okubo and Honma accompanying each piece offer a glimpse into his character. The book concludes with an essay by writer Toshiyuki Horie.
