Title: An intense psychological and philosophical work
Product review: Keizo Yukawa, an museum curator in Japan, embarks on an intense and excruciating test when he accepts the job of head curator at a new private museum dedicated to the enigmatic artist Takenoko. As Yukawa's story unfolds, Takenoko's parallels it in the margins of this imaginative and thought-provoking work. One by one, Yukawa meets the family of Ichiro Ono, the museum owner. Each one introduces a tiny piece of the puzzle that is the Ono family history and draws Yukawa deeper into the part he has to play in the mystery.Illustrations by L.J.C. Shimoda add an authenticity and depth to this well-researched and beautifully written book. If you're interested in Japanese culture, the question of aesthetics, or just looking for a book that diverges in a lively way from the norm, pick up this book.
