A collection of works by Takashi Murakami, a leading Japanese artist, "DOB in the Strange Forest". At Tokyo University of the Arts, Murakami, who majored in Japanese painting, started working as a contemporary artist in the early 90's, and has been steadily creating the character "DOB-kun" since then. This book is a collection of works published at the exhibition of the same name held at Parco Gallery in April 1999, and is the first book of Takashi Murakami. The etymology of DOB is "Dobochite Dobochite, Oshamanbe", a gag phrase that forcibly combines the completely different phrases of Noboru Kawasaki's "Inakappe Taisho" and the great comedian Toru Yuri into one. DOB, who began to create based on real creations that make "modoki" of "modoki" "original", gradually became a mirror that reflected the times and became a mirror, and it was like Takashi Murakami's self-portrait. became.

There is slight sun damage to the edges, traces of opening on the front page (plain page), and a 2cm stain on the back page, but this does not affect the text.
