Yoshitomo Nara - UKIYO - 1999

Yoshitomo Nara - UKIYO - First Edition 1999

UKIYO is an art book by Yoshitomo Nara, originally published by Little More in 1999. This copy is the original first edition from 1999.

The book is divided into two sections. The first features two-dimensional works that combine Nara’s iconic girls with imagery inspired by the world of traditional Japanese ukiyo-e. These works create a distinctive fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and Nara’s unique artistic style.

The second section features three-dimensional works exhibited at ART / DOMESTIC: Temperature of the Time, held at the Setagaya Art Museum in 1999. The works were photographed by renowned Japanese photographer Takashi Homma.

Published in 1999, before Yoshitomo Nara achieved the level of international recognition he enjoys today, UKIYO is an important early publication that offers a fascinating look at his artistic practice during this period.

The book was later reissued due to its popularity, but this copy is the original 1999 first edition, not the later reissue. More than 25 years after its publication, the original edition has become increasingly difficult to find, making it a desirable book for collectors and admirers of Yoshitomo Nara’s work.
