Publisher's Synopsis

Featured in this book are illustrations and stories about various antiques, including jardinieres, nutcrackers, magic lanterns, and more. Makura Kurama creates works that are mysterious, fantastical, and sometimes a little mad. Anyone seeing these illustrations will surely be drawn into the world of the artwork. As an introduction, there is an 8-page manga, followed by the bound illustration cards featuring the artworks on the front and stories of each illustration written on the back. Although the stories in this book are written only in Japanese, the illustrations alone offer plenty of enjoyment. Favorite illustrations can be removed cleanly from the book. The cards can be used to decorate, or given as a gift, or simply enjoyed as a collection of artworks. However the book is enjoyed, readers are sure to enjoy the stories of these beautiful and mysterious antiques, which are drawn from the same worldview as the popular book, Welcome to the Peculiar Antique Shop : The Art of Makura Kurama.
