{"title":"Obata Saki","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"季節の記録","title":"Ayaki Obata \"Seasonal Records\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAyaki Obata is an illustrator and graphic designer who has contributed to various domestic and international publications, including the British magazine \"MONOCLE.\" This collection features a wealth of illustrations carefully selected from zines and other works she has previously published, themed around the seasons from her personal projects, with new works also included. Her compositions are like unforgettable scenes from a movie, and her characters' actions are imbued with a sense of narrative. The illustrations, which perfectly capture moments in time, evoke the changing seasons that have come and gone, and the emotions that must have been present within them, through reality or at times through fiction. It is a book that, like an Ozu film, conveys deep emotion through minimalist expression. It is published by commune Press, a publishing label that introduces domestic and international artists, including illustrators and photographers, from its unique perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; width: 76.5653%; height: 86px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"79\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.5%; text-align: center; height: 20px;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74%; height: 20px; text-align: center;\"\u003eAyaki Obata\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.5%; text-align: center; height: 20px;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74%; height: 19.5938px; text-align: center;\"\u003ecommune Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.5%; text-align: center; height: 20px;\"\u003eOther\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74%; height: 19.5938px; text-align: center;\"\u003e156P \/ A5 \/ Softcover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"余波舎 \/ NAGORO BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49061716689208,"sku":"","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/6959\/4936\/files\/kisetsuno.jpg?v=1746002109"},{"product_id":"新本-new-book-季節の記録2","title":"Obata Saki \"Record of the Seasons 2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe parking area on a departure morning when the sky begins to lighten, the determination for a new life brought by the view from the window, a heart cultivated by tilling the soil, the Obon holiday spent welcoming and seeing off loved ones, the sound of autumn rain and being alone, spending time doing nothing in particular with friends by the riverside, an empty morning bus warmed by the low sun, breakfast bought at an unfamiliar convenience store in an unfamiliar place, a family gathering around the kotatsu at the dinner table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrator Saki Obata, who is active in various media including covers for magazines and books both in Japan and abroad, continues to create seasonal illustrations as personal work, separate from her client work. The world created from her minimalist and smart lines depicts the mundane moments of daily life alongside the changing seasons like a scene from a movie, recalling to the viewer the time and scenery, emotions and memories that have come and gone through reality and fiction. This second collection of works, which includes new pieces in addition to carefully selected works from her zines that previously sold out immediately, features primarily monochrome works, but also includes color works introduced like accent colors.
