It was not especially easy for me to find this book, here in the US...
but I was determined.
And so very excited when it finally showed up on my doorstep.
The diary of a small, independent Japanese furniture designer.
So beautifully conceived and shot.
I knew when I first saw it mentioned that I had to own this book.
In the end, I found it on the website of
this bookstore, which we had visited in San Francisco.
"Lost" fans, please try not to get too freaked-out by the polar bear references.
These guys are just fond of polar bears, OK?

oh! fantastic! it was worth the search!! love it!
I tried to purchase it too Maia but it said it was out of stock. I am glad you have it. I purchased instead a children's book from Amazon in France by Bruno Munari. Made in 1945, it depicts animals who dream of being other animals.
J'aime beaucoup les revues japonaises que j'ai découvert en Corée il y a 2 ans. Elles sont superbes. Heureusement à Paris il y a une librairie japonaise :Junku.
Cette collection est superbe!
J'ai des livres de B.Munari mais pas celui-ci.
I had never seen this book living in Japan but it looks great I must go check it in the book store tomorrow!
I don't know if you know but "SHIROKUMA" means "Polar bear" and "SHA" is like "company" so they must really love polar bear :)
the books looks fantastic! i wish i could read/speak japaneese, but i can whatch the pictures though

hiki, i didn't know the word for polar bear, so I didn't realize that about the name. Maybe if you find the book you can tell me how they got their fascination with polar bears, since I can't read Japanese! I think the book just came out recently.
What an intriguing looking book!
Where do you find all these lovely things?
A beautiful book, I'm glad you were able to find it!
