A luxurious notebook, bound in woven Japanese paper and incorporating camera obscura images made by leading contemporary Japanese photographer Takashi Homma for his photobook The Narcissistic City (2016). Homma's photographs of New York's iconic architecture can be found on the cover, end papers and accompanying bookmark, along with 128 pages of elegant lined paper, ideally suited to all pens and pencils.

This collection of new work by celebrated photographer Takashi Homma approaches one of the most iconic and widely represented images in Japan and the world: Mount Fuji. With its title referencing Hokusai’s famous series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Homma evokes his country’s traditions of representation and depiction while offering a haunting new encounter with his subject. Using pinhole cameras as well as digital technology, Homma forms ghostly images of the mountain as it resides to the southwest of Tokyo in collaged views that place it ambiguously in the wider landscape – both invoking and subverting the spectacle it has come to be associated with. With this new book, Homma writes a subtle and essential new chapter in the history of Japanese visual culture. With a text by Pico Iyer
