Nuno Corporation was established in 1984, and has over the course of fifteen years produced closed to 1400 original textiles, twenty-one of which were selected as part of last year's Structure and Surface: Contemporary Japanese Textiles exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York (12 Nov 1998 - 26 January 1999) and The Saint Louis Art Museum, Saint Louis (18 June 1999 - 15 August 1999).
As yet another new/now direction in creative expression, Nuno has launched its own book series, interweaving words and images to document the best from our voluminous catalogue of fabrics.
At present nuno nuno books comprise six published folios: Boro Boro, Sukè Sukè, Fuwa Fuwa, Shimi Jimi, Kira Kira and Zawa Zawa. Each thematically treats upon a particular quality among Nuno's many fabrics-as suggested by the onomatopoeic Japanese titles-and is illustrated with striking photos of representative textile works along with essays by a unique range of personalities. Technical details are kept to a minimum in these beautifully designed books, so as to let the visuals speak for themselves.
The first volume BOROBORO, the second volume SUKESUKE the third volume FUWAFUWA the fourth volume SHIMIJIMI the fifth volume KIRAKIRA and the sixth volume ZAWAZAWA are now on sale online or at the locations listed.
