Description

A brand-new picture book from the author of Small Wonders, Tatsuya Tanaka. Sushi Came to Buy Some Clothes enchants readers with Mitate, Tanaka's reimagination of everyday objects.

Sushi has arrived at the store, looking for some new clothes. Will he try Salmon? Or maybe he'll go with Toro this time. Ice Cream arrives looking for a new flavor, and Sausage comes to the car dealers looking for a new ride. From the very first glance, Sushi Came to Buy Some Clothes is a humorous ride through the world of minatures. Each page is filled with Mitate, Tatsuya Tanaka's unique art of reimagining everyday objects as something else.

Although a picture book, this book is not just for children, but is also aimed at adults interested in Miniatures, art, photography, and people interested in Japanese culture such as sushi and kimonos. The perfect coffee table book or gift for everyone.
