PLASTIC CULTURE: HOW JAPANESE TOYS CONQUERED THE WORLD HC
by Woodrow Phoenix
Blending incisive analysis and stylish photos, Plastic Culture explores the world of toys: why we love them, what they represent and why there's a growing market for "designer" and "art" toys aimed at adults. Extensively researched, the book includes interviews with the leading players in today's toy world, including long-established Japanese toymaking giants Kaiyodo and Sanrio, world-famous fine artists and producers of "art" toys Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara, and cult Hong Kong designers of "urban vinyl" toys Michael Lau and Eric So.
