Kuchikeru

This is an artist's book in which photographer LA Tomari captures only glass subjects in his unique worldview of "Kuchikeru". The glass objects collected for this book include goldfish bowls, ramune bottles, "glassware" that appeared in the early days of MUJI, and small old bottles that used to hold Jintan. They are all transparent subjects that could have been discarded in a heartbeat. Some of them are hand-picked by Kazumi Tsuji and Koichi Uchida, and others were given to us by famous store owners in the antique and antique world. Poetry and writings accompany the photographs.
