When I walk down the street,
people would come up to me and say,
”Why don’t you sell me your deadstock Converse?”
This book was created through the R&D project “Tsutaya Souvenirs” by product designers Hiroshi Komiyama and Gottingham, and includes two forms of photographic work as artistic research. They traveled together, and through a series of dialogues with people involved in local craftsmanship, they improvised keywords using a staged photography/typology shooting style. In the Miyagi section, they visited AZOTH, a Sendai-based company, and examined the city, youth, and value, using the words and things they saw and heard there as a starting point. Designed by Toshimasa Kimura.

歩いていると声をかけられるのです
そのコンバースのデットストックを売ってくれ
本書はプロダクトデザイナーの小宮山洋とGottinghamが進めるR&Dプロジェクト「蔦屋書店のおみやげ」を通して生まれ、アーティスティックリサーチとして二つの形式の写真作品が収められている。彼らは共に旅をし、地域のものづくりに携わる人々との対話を重ねながら、ステージド・フォトグラフィ／タイポロジーの撮影スタイルによって、即興的にキーワードを導き出した。宮城編では仙台市にある株式会社AZOTHを訪れ、そこで見聞きした言葉や事物をきっかけに［都市、若者、価値］を考察した。デザインは木村稔将。
