Yunoki Samiro No 100 Nen
100 Years of Samiro Yuonoki: Trajectory of Creation
Japanese language edition.
 
Yunoki Samiro (1922 - 2024) has long been a leading force of Japanese modern arts and crafts. In 2022, Yunoki celebrated his 100 years old birthday, which culminated with the series of large scale exhibitions. This book was published by the Joshibi Art University of Art and Design as its exhibition catalogue, but also covers the artist's creative life and work as a whole. 

Although the text in this book is written in the Japanese language, 70 to 80 % of the pages feature various visual images. There is no English edition of this book.
 
The exhibition brings together 150 works, spanning stenciled and dyed textiles, glass paintings, and book design from the 1950s through the 2000s. It also features recent creations, from large-scale banners to the series of design collaboration with the home interior brand. This extensive collection reflects a century of creativity and celebrates the artist whose vision remained fresh and inspiring until his last years.
 
Samiro Yunoki  1922-2024. Yunoki started his career in textile dyeing in the late 1940s. It was inspired and led by the encounter with Mingei Movement and the works of Keisuke Serizawa, stencil-dye (Katazome) artist.  Yunoki's focus was on Katazome art textiles, but his works ranged over graphic design, picture books, prints, and three-dimensional sculptures. Yunoki worked for, and led, the Joshibi University of Art and Design from 1950 to 1991.
