Yoshitomo Nara: The Beginning Place explores five themes—Home, Layered Space-Time, Journey, No War, and the rock café “33 1/3” with its small community—to trace the roots of Nara’s sensibility back to his student days. Through a rich selection of photographs from the exhibition, images of works ranging from early pieces to recent creations, objects scattered around his studio, treasured records, and encounters from his birth in Hirosaki, Aomori in 1959 to the present, the book offers a deep look into the artist’s life and inspiration. It also includes a detailed chronology of Nara’s career and essays by researchers, providing a comprehensive study of his creative journey.
