-Description- Title The Polish of Power Publication Year 2000
Volume 5 showcases 26 kira kira ("shiny") fabrics that beautifully outshine common preconceptions about glitz and glitter. Included are many technically "impossible" metallic weavings-perhaps the best-known of Nuno's signature textiles. While the kira kira story by award-winning screenwriter-author Tomomi Tsutsui adds a swipe of satrical polish to the pictorial gloss. A brilliant book. Hardcover; 48 pp, 29 all-colour photos
The Contents is as follows. KIRA KIRA 1. glittering, glistening, glimmering, twinkling,sparkling: shiny 2. dazzling, briliant; bright 3. replendant, gala; gaily attired (cf. kirabiyaka finely appointed) 4. high-pitched and intermittent (as in laughter)
At present these books comprise six published folios: Boro Boro, Sukè Sukè, Fuwa Fuwa, Shimi Jimi, Kira Kira and Zawa Zawa. Each thematically treats upon a particular quality among Nuno's many fabrics-as suggested by the onomatopoeic Japanese titles-and is illustrated with striking photos of representative textile works along with essays by a unique range of personalities. Technical details are kept to a minimum in these beautifully designed books, so as to let the visuals speak for themselves.
-Condition- It is in very good condition overall.
