Guided by our own sensibilities, we have collaborated with creators, artists, skilled craftsmen, and top-quality production teams to create these art books. Each book features a rich variety of expressive elements—paper textures, unique finishes, and specialized printing and binding techniques—that can be fully appreciated in person. We invite you to pick up and enjoy these books, including new titles not yet available in our webshop, while discovering the stories and meticulous care woven into each one.

Artist / Brand

A-gene press (ASAHISEIHAN edition)

"A-gene" refers to the genetic spirit of ASAHISEIHAN.
A-gene Press is an initiative by ASAHISEIHAN Co., Ltd., which will soon mark its 100th anniversary, to showcase and reframe the art books and printed works we have produced over the years. It is also a platform for new perspectives and explorations. In collaboration with creators, artists, craftsmen, and factories, we aim to share a distinctive kind of "something"—free from conventional forms of expression—that resonates with the heart.
