It will be re-released this spring in an expanded Enlarged x paper-cloth binding edition including new works! Popular illustrator Hiroshi Nagai has been active since the 1970s in a variety of record jackets and advertisements, including the jacket work for the immortal masterpiece "A LONG VACATION" (Eiichi Otaki), which continues to be loved by many people. Hiroshi Nagai's distinctive style is characterized by a mixture of surrealism and pop art. The palm trees, blue skies, and greenery reflected in the light that he saw in Guam and California when he visited there with his friends set the direction of his illustrations, and the one-of-a-kind "scenery that exists nowhere else" that he creates by further expanding his imagination is nostalgic for many. I think there are many people who feel nostalgia for the one-of-a-kind "scenery that exists nowhere else. Nagai, who originally had an interest in art, began his career as an illustrator in 1976, and since then has continued to draw what he loves purely, maintaining a consistent style even as time has passed. The visuals have led the culture of "CITY POP" and have become a "universal" presence. As of 2024, he continues to receive offers from leading domestic and international companies, as well as the respect of many artists of all generations, keeping him busy. This book is a revised and expanded edition of his first book of self-recommended works, "THE JOURNEY BEGINS," which was published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title held at Ginza Tsutaya from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023. The works selected by Nagai himself, from his early works that shaped Hiroshi Nagai to his recent works, include poolside, cars, people, night scenes, lapping waves, buildings, and palm trees swaying in the wind, which is synonymous with his work. The collection includes many of Nagai's artwork designs. The limited edition first printing, with a cloth cloth cover by Yoxxx, a designer who has designed artwork for many of Nagai's works, generated a great response after its release. Some who picked up the book said that it brought back dreamlike times and memories of the 1980s, and that they marveled at the stillness of the book, as if "time had stood still," even though they felt the presence of human beings. This time, while keeping the contents of the first edition, the cover has been changed from cloth cloth to paper cloth for a popular edition. The new edition will include three new works, including one that was shown at a recent exhibition, and will be published as a revised and enlarged edition. The new edition of "THE JOURNEY BEGINS" will be a great success, not only for those who missed out on purchasing the book, but also for those who already own the first edition. We hope you will take advantage of this rare opportunity to purchase a copy. Number of works included Total of 62 works including 3 new works will be included. ※ Please let me know if you have any questions.
