Hideaki Kawashima considers the nuances of one way admiration.
The title of our second collaboration with Hideaki Kawashima references the relationship between its subject and a portrait hanging behind her on a sunshine yellow wall. Engrossed in a book, her feelings are not overt. Instead, Kawashima considers the way role models guide our lives from afar, and our penchant for making subtle shrines to them within our domestic spaces.
For the edition, Kawashima chose a portrait of Yukio Mishima – a renowned Japanese writer who he credits with awakening him to the joys of literature.
Fan (Mishima) launches alongside an edition of 20 hand-finished prints. In each print, Kawashima introduces a different figure to the frame.
