Now in stock at both EU and USA shipping locations, Takato Yamamoto's new book "Japonesthetique". All pre-orders have already been shipped out. I'll be adding new images, descriptions, etc., soon and will just edit this text out when I'm done. :) But for now, differences!
The differences between the regular and limited edition:
REGULAR EDITION
 paper dust jacket cream color gloss accent text bar code on back cover |  muted purple embossed paper board book cover |  signed directly on the title page |
 paper dust jacket purple color gloss accent text no bar code on back cover |  lilac purple embossed satin fabric book cover |  signed & numbered on vellum page (not present in reg. ed.) |
Side by side photo of the two books (without dust jackets) to further show the contrast between Limited Edition (left) and Regular Edition (right).
Just added, 48 brand new, original, copic marker drawings by Shintaro Kago. Each drawing is on a piece of shikishi board (used for traditional Japanese calligraphy). Two of them are a larger size - 9.52" x 10.75" (24.2 x 27.3cm) - and all the rest are the same size as the 2019 copic marker originals - 7.125" x 8.35" (18.1 x 21.2cm).

Just added for PRE-ORDER, Takato Yamamoto's brand new book "Japonesthetique". Deeply exploring his roots and love for Ukiyo-e and traditional Japanese imagery, "Japonesthetique" is his own particular sense of aesthetics and Japonisme combined into an iconic book of geisha, samurai, demons, shunga, ghosts, spring scenes in kimono and everything you think of meaning "traditional Japan" (but still with his modern, crisp lines).
Signed regular edition is available as well as a few copies of the already sold out limited edition version. Arrival is expected early June +/-.
Folding fan is in stock and available now!
