| Summary: | ""Tensoku" is a technique for posing insect specimens with needles. It is one of the tasks that is done when making insect specimens, but in fact, the Japanese people's commitment to the exhibition foot and the technology of making it in the form of a unique culture is heterogeneous even in the world. This book is the world's first visual book focusing on its artistic "exhibition foot technology" by up-and-coming specimen artist Takataka Fukui. On the gravure page, rare insect specimens from the British Museum of Natural History, which also housed in Darwin's collection, were cleaned and re-exhibited with special permission, and revived beautifully in the present day. A specimen that was in poor condition is reborn by dramatic changes by the exhibition foot technology. You can enjoy a lot of such before-and-afters. In addition to the technical explanation page that introduces Mr. Fukui's unique exhibition footing technology without hesitation, Mr. Kazuhide Kobayashi, an insect researcher, explains the "history of insect specimens" by insect researcher Kazuhide Kobayashi.A obi comment from graphic designer Taku Sato "Exhibition leg is the design of specimens!" As the saying goes, the work of drawing the figure of insects with countless needles is a book that you can realize that it is exactly art." -- Translation of description provided by publisher. |
