Beautiful Books: Publications by Yukawa Shobō and Prints from the Museum Collection
Please check our Health and Safety Measures before your visiting.
About the Exhibition
Yukawa Shobō was established by YUKAWA Seiichi (1937–2008) in 1969. Based in Osaka and then Kyoto, it published limited-edition books. The elaborate printing, design, and binding of the books this publisher produced enchanted many a bibliophile until the business closed in 2008. The charms of unique books produced in collaboration with enthusiastic artists such as the print artists OKADA Roshiw (b. 1949) and KARASAWA Hitoshi (b. 1950) or the textile artist MOCHIZUKI Michiaki (b. 1953) are presented through recent acquisitions. In addition, focusing on the relation between letters and pictures in print, there is also a display of wood engravings by KARASAWA Hitoshi.
