"The Work of Shiro Kuramata: A Microcosmos of Memory" is a collection of works by Shiro Kuramata (1934-1991), one of Japan's leading postwar interior designers. Kuramata's work, combining Japanese and Western aesthetics between industrial design and art, has earned him acclaim both in Japan and abroad for his unique worldview. His outstanding store designs, including "Issey Miyake Boutique," "Sing Sing Sing," "Beguine the Beguine," and even his 1988 "Miss Blanche," are also outstanding. His work was recognized by master designer Ettore Sottsass, and he became a founding member of the design consortium "Memphis," founded by Sottsass. This book is a catalogue published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name, which debuted at the Setagaya Art Museum in 2023 and traveled to Toyama and Kyoto the following year. The second edition was published in 2024, following the first in 2023.
