Bamboo Stilts - Travel Sketch [NEW]

This sketchbook by Kyoto-based illustrator Takema compiles a visual travelogue of his journeys, rendered in colored pens. Across 428 pages, it captures scenes from his visits to America, Vietnam, Italy, Russia, Austria, and Germany between 2018 and 2024.

The book features a dynamic brushwork that instantly captures the emotional impact of the scenes before him, alongside compositions reminiscent of record jackets and poster art, incorporating handwritten text and collages.
It's a volume that allows readers to immerse themselves in the atmosphere the artist experienced and felt in foreign lands.

The substantial and robust cover, rounded corners, lay-flat German binding (Codex binding), cloth-bound spine, and foil-stamped cover text, all part of Yuichi Urushibara's impactful and substantial book design, contribute to the uncompromising quality typical of a privately published work.
