This is a book of elegant design, a diary-style essay drawing on the life of Shinichiro Nakamura in Karuizawa (Irogoan). It's a valuable volume that offers glimpses into his wide-ranging human connections, the background of his creative work, and his attitudes and interests in literature, music, thought, and history. It's a very interesting book for anyone interested in Nakamura. The cover is tanned, and the back cover also shows some signs of age, but the contents are in pristine condition, like new. The reader's card is still inserted. Please check the photos. The obi (paper band) is torn and removed, but it is included and placed inside the book. #Shinichiro Nakamura
