Features: Public Art: The Japanese Model offers a unique perspective on the distinctive landscape of Japanese public art over the past decade. Author Makiko Tanimura, with her professional eye, has curated the most important and most recent public art works, dividing the book into two parts: the first part introduces nine significant projects, and the second part features four artists with diverse styles. The works presented in this book never fail to deliver unexpected surprises. When this kind of surprise that makes a work art is placed in a public space, it creates an infinite sense of impact. The charm these works exude is something readers cannot afford to miss. It is worth noting that some cases in this book aim to revitalize communities through art or breathe new life into old areas, making them highly reference-worthy works.
