Features: Public Art: The Japanese Model offers a unique perspective on the distinctive landscape of Japanese public art over the past decade. Author Tamiya Mayumi, with her professional insight, has curated the most important and most recent public art works, dividing the book into two parts: Part one introduces nine significant projects, while 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, which makes a work art, is placed in a public space, it creates an infinite sense of impact. The charm exuded by these works is something readers cannot afford to miss. Notably, some cases in the book aim to revitalize communities through art or breathe new life into old areas, making them highly valuable references.
