Reconstructing art in the age of SNS, a new sensibility 400 pages, 200 works by 200 artists reinterpreted graphically. Countless artworks are transmitted from SNS. While we enjoy their richness, we also witness the reality that works, once published, quickly flow away and are consumed. "Ukiyo Tokyo -graphical tokyo-" is a collective brand that shines a light again on such ephemeral "ukiyo" art through the power of design and reconstructs it. This book condenses that endeavor into a new sensation art collection of over 400 pages. It contains on facing pages the original illustrations drawn by 200 artists and the new works boldly redesigned by designers. Not merely adding design, but through diverse approaches such as "further sharpening the original worldview" and "reconstructing by the designer's intuition away from meaning and background", the new works extend the charm of the originals and lead viewers to new interpretations. Furthermore, each work comes with a comment on the design concept. By comparing the original and the redesign and thinking "how it changed" and "why it became like this", you will find something new on every page turn. For the binding, codex binding that opens the book flat is adopted, and for printing, wide color gamut printing that reproduces the vivid and rich colors on the monitor is adopted. You can stress free appreciate to the corners the 200 graphic x illustration works laid out to fill the page. It is a single volume where you can fully enjoy the infinite possibilities created by the fusion of art and graphic in a volume of over 400 pages.
