I was fortunate enough to have been in San Jose some years back, in order to see an exhibit of Nara's work. It was impressive to see the range of artistic mediums he's worked in to date, embracing temporal materials that play into the influence of comics/manga, all the way through to more 'fine art' executions of his "Super Flat", highly influential style.
These books show the exhaustive assortment of Nara's works known to date - a total visual tour de force.
AND you even get a really cute cotton canvas tote with a randomly selected Nara image on it!
This gorgeous doorstop = perfect gift to myself (but worth the splurge on any art lover you may know).

Fruitful and precious content. Nice packing and a real collectible! The tote bag is a surprise and the whole thing is indeed value for money. Worth much more than its price.

Expect a heavy package and a cool art bag to keep your hardbacks in. Just wonderful to pull out and glance through. Excellent high art from the Far East.
