Expressing the "loneliness" of modern society in a variety of ways
The first collection of poems released by "Artist Fuse Rintaro"

The first collection of poems by Rintaro Fuse, an artist who has developed various presentations, including writing, painting and video works, installations, exhibitions using the website, curator activities, etc., with the theme of recovery of "loneliness" and "being two people" that have been lost in a society of excessively connected society since the appearance of smartphones.

Reorganized the works presented at Parco MUSEUM TOKYO in 2022 and the exhibition "The Kisss of Names" held at PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO in 2022 and the exhibition "Kiss of Names" held at SNOW Contemporary in 2021, as well as works submitted to the magazine "Bunggakukai." In addition, there are a total of 29 new works written on the theme of "tear".

The cover illustration is drawn by Shuzo Oshimi, who has a reputation for delicate psychological depiction of people, such as the comics "Ill no Hana", "Okaeri Alice" and "Blood Rut". This is a work for this book in response to Rintaro Fuse's passionate love call.
The binding was handled by designer Kinjiro Yagi, who is holding a two-person exhibition "Sand no Book THE BOOK OF ARENA" with Rintaro Fuse.

"Tears." It is the same physiological reaction to conflicting stimuli of joy and sadness, pleasure and distress. Based on the phenomenon of "tears," we promote contradictions in humans and undefined ambiguity that cannot be defined.
While spreading to the motifs of "sea", "death" and "sex", the world intersect in one book.

―This is a catalog of "Tears". This catalog is due to the past that we couldn't organize. A drop of "tear" that each one might not have flowed.

―――
I've never seen a child crying child, but you shed tears when you're happy.
(Excerpted from "Personal Computers for Children of all ages")

I'm glad I'm sorry
Will be one
It hurts, feel good.
I hate it, I love you, don't approach
Everything is equal weight
Color the eyelids
(Excerpted from "Tear -1")

This is a catalog of tears. This catalog is due to the past that we couldn't organize. It's not about giving up. I want to give unorganized things to stay. I don't want to make one reason for tears. My mother's death was the fall. Your tears can be flushed only for you.
(Excerpted from "Tear -1")
