Curator’s Notes

This book holds the Japanese language manifestos of Ryuji Mitani — he articulates his approaches to his work within the context of his personal philosophies. Carefully scattered among beautiful photos by Mitani-san himself, you will learn about what it’s meant for him to be at the forefront of his craft. The book will teach you about his approach to his past career while exciting you to the many future iterations of Mitani-san and his work. Each of these specials editions are signed by Mitani-san.

Crafts, and Then Book was curated by Stevenson Aung and Angélique Chmielewski
