Natari Art Works : Merahando
Overview
An Afterimage That Lingers Beyond Fear
Not merely "scary" -- but something that leaves a lingering, ambiguous aftertaste: strange, undefined, and beautiful.
What is reflected in those dry, distant eyes--anger, sorrow, or perhaps joy?
Depending on the viewer's imagination, the interpretation changes entirely. This is the debut art book of illustrator Natari.
From the EditorThe title of this book, "Merahando", originates from a dialect spoken in a certain region of Japan.
Natari's works often incorporate elements of ancient Japanese folklore, beliefs, and a sense of local, indigenous atmosphere. This cultural and spiritual texture is embodied within the title itself.
This collection features 103 carefully selected works from a vast body of creations.
Included are not only main pieces but also striking "outsider" works: doll-like cursed objects, unsettling classroom scenes reminiscent of haunted locations, nostalgic rural summer landscapes, and fluid, shape-shifting gestures of hands.
We invite you to experience a world that may exist just one step beyond everyday life.
