“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 Tokyo section, they visited Shinohara Shiko Ltd. in Koto-ku, Tokyo, and examined the words and things they saw and heard there [carts, movement of goods, trade, and hierarchy]. Designed by Toshimasa Kimura.

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。東京編では江東区にある有限会社篠原紙工を訪れ、そこで見聞きした言葉や事物をきっかけに［台車、物の移動、取引、ヒエラルキー］を考察した。デザインは木村稔将。
