Summary:
As in the eponymous exhibition at Mori Art Museum, this volume examines the characteristics of ancient and classical Japanese architecture in a very ambitious attempt to elucidate the major currents of the nation’s architecture from the perspectives of how its genealogies have spread internationally, the pioneering figures in the process, and the mechanisms behind the continued expansion of these genealogies today. It documents 100 projects across nine thematic sections, including materials, models, documents, and interactive installations. Nine stories which are ultimately hypothetical ones, in hopes that they will lead to new discussions and visions for the future of Japan.

Summary:
'Twin Mirror' is a publication of two new short stories: small parables in comics form. These dream sequences are in deliberate contrast to one another. The first story is set in the titular 'Hermetic Library', in which we stumble upon a seemingly ever-expanding room, the walls of which are completely covered with untitled books. The second story, 'Synopsis', deals with the elemental fear of the white page. The work in 'Twin Mirrors' is a minimalist affair: the comics herein are strictly handmade, using only traditional tools (i.e. nib pens, manga screentone foil, Letraset and Mecanorma lettering).

Summary:
Working slowly and with methodical precision, Frank Kunert (born 1963) creates miniature stage settings which he then photographs with a large-format analog camera, producing magical images of “small worlds” that have been published in previous acclaimed volumes from Hatje Cantz such as "Topsy-Turvy World" (2008) and "Wonderland" (2013). Kunert’s works exist between the poles of slapstick and metaphysics. His new book "Lifestyle" presents 23 miniatures of these philosophically based stories of everyday life. Here, the ordinary quickly becomes absurd, tragedy veers into comedy and wit becomes ambiguous. The series is nominated for the International Felix Schoeller Photo Award 2017.
