BROOCH
Pictures by Yoshie Watanabe
Words by Yayako Uchida

A beautiful Japanese picture book where poetry, illustration, and design come together.

Printed on delicate, translucent pages, the illustrations overlap, disappear, and reappear as you turn each page, creating a dreamy, ever-changing world.

More than just a picture book, BROOCH is a little work of art to hold in your hands.

The English edition is now available at Empty Shelf!

”Kid Echo”

A new monograph by Korean photographer Sung Jin Park from Session Press

Expressions only possible at that age. Emotions not yet put into words, energy brimming over, and time spent idling away.

Turning the pages, you meet adolescents staring into the camera. Vulnerability, uncertainty, and the wavering self not yet able to fully reveal itself—each photograph tells the story, without ever overtelling it.

Only 2 copies available.

Now on shelf!
