What I recently bought by contemporary artist Ken Kagami.
Composition: Takenori Okuno (almost daily newspaper Itoi Shimbun)
The popular serialization of "Almost daily Itoi Shimbun" is turned into a book!
Guys, don't buy too much! And the author must scream.
___ Shigesatou Itoi (Obi comment)
Ken Kagami, a contemporary artist who transforms social phenomena, current affairs, and culture into joke-like ideas, and presents them across the media, including sculpture, painting, drawing, video, and performance. He is engaged in a wide range of activities, including the release of collaborative products with a number of brands and participation in many art exhibitions both in Japan and overseas.
This book is a popular serialization that has been running for two and a half years since 2022, focusing on what I recently bought, edited by Takenori Okuno, an editor in "Almost daily Itoi Shimbun", and turned into a book.
In addition to the 29 "Buyed Items", the 30th edition limited to books, and who is Ken Kagami? A long interview approaching is also included. Ken Kagami's "weird shopping" unfolds in the "era when you no longer buy", you can see the fun of the world.

Contemporary artist Ken Kagami buys something weird.
“Are you going to make money and buy it?”
The fun of shopping and that’s probably not.
Is this shopping art too?
What's going on with that shopping?

Keep your eyes peeled for funny shopping.
I want you to be stunned.
And it is included in Kagami's words instantly.
I want you to stop and think about something like the truth.
