Japan's Freshest Art & Design Publisher


PIE International, a leading publisher from Japan, presented three of the most beautiful art-driven books of the season. 
A Victorian Flower album is a gorgeous collection of hand-drawn floral arrangements from the Victorian era. Charming and sophisticated, yet compressible and lovely to look at regardless of your age, the book breathes new life into works that were originally published over 100 years ago. Perfect for the autumn season, while representative of a summer evenings, the tone and autumnal hues throughout each page feel perfect to page through on a crisp November day.
grow: The Art of Koyamori is a vibrant and imaginative book of illustrations from the talented young Canadian artist, Koyamori. While having already established herself as a force across the social media networks, this is her very first official print publication and the artist clearly puts her skills on display. The book is an impressive and incredible collection of watercolor ink pieces are truly eye catching.
Elegance in Japanese Art is a wonderful representation of the historical style of Japanese art. As its title states, the pages are filled with elegant Edo-Period works and serves as an informative introduction to the major Japanese artistic movement known as the Rinpa School. Art and history collide in  this important cultural gem of a publication.

Crafts of SABAE



'Tis the time (summer time) for sunglasses, but that being said, there is never really a bad time to explore eyewear, especially when it's that of Japanese design. Luxeye Optical and Brooklyn Spectacles teamed up to present a group of new brands reigning from the Japanese city of Sabae. In a partnership with the Government of Japan, incredible designers from this relatively-known city shared their innovative, on-trend, carefully crafted, cool designs.
