The long-awaited reissue of Yoshitomo Nara's original work, now in its original edition after 25 years!
This miraculous drawing book contains over 100 drawings and words from the many paintings and drawings he made during his stay in Los Angeles in the spring of 1998.
The drawings of children who seem to stare back at him, drawn on scraps of notebooks and envelopes, are the inspiration of those days and the lonely souls seeking freedom that inhabit these works.
Along with the drawings, one can also read the poetic writings of the young artist.
I don't want to stay still. I don't want to be still. (from the text)
