“Sewing Box” Eye Ohashi

Photographer Eye Ohashi's photo book has arrived.
The binding is very beautiful, and the edges of the end pages are stitched with red thread, giving the feel of a "sewing box" which is the theme of the photo book.
A sewing box is both a trace and an accumulation of the owner's handiwork.
Imagining how something was created is a way of thinking about the daily activities of others, and it also gives us time to reconsider our own daily lives.Please take a look inside the sewing boxes of 100 people.

Sewing boxes of 100 people photographed by photographer Eye Ohashi The inspiration for photography came from noticing the sewing box owned by my mother, who loves to sew, and she continued to photograph as she expanded her focus. Small sewing boxes range from heavy sewing boxes that have been passed down from generation to generation to lighter items such as empty sweets boxes, simple plastic tool boxes, rattan containers, cloth bags, and ziplock bags. Although they are daily necessities, the owner's personality and orientation are reflected in the way they choose boxes, the types of tools, and how they are organized and stored.
The sewing box, which has been with us for a long time and has become even tasteful, gives us a sense of the warmth of people, resulting in a strangely calming photo book.

“Kishio Suga Production Notes 1967–2008”

A book by Mr. Kishio Suga, who is famous as a central figure of "Mono-ha", has arrived.
Although it is slightly smaller than the A5 version, it has a strong presence with a thickness of 5 cm and 704 pages.Artist's handwritten text on simple orange bindingThis is a book that makes you feel attached to it as a “thing”.
This is a rare opportunity to see the notebook in which I wrote down ideas and plans for creating works for 40 years.Mr. Suga's works are made with familiar materials such as wood and stone, and sometimes it is difficult to understand them just by looking at the title and work.From artists to business people, you'll likely find many words that can help you create things, such as what you're trying to express and what kind of trial and error you're using.
