The Polish of Power KIRA KIRA 1. glittering, glistening, glimmering, twinkling,sparkling: shiny 2.dazzling, briliant; bright 3. replendant, gala; gaily attired (cf. kirabiyaka finely appointed) 4..high-pitched and intermittent (as in laughter) Our latest nuno nuno book volume 5 showcases 26 kira kira ("shiny") fabrics that beautifully outshine common preconceptions about glitz and glitter. Included are many technically "impossible" metallic weavings-perhaps the best-known of Nuno's signature textiles. While the kira kira story by award-winning screenwriter-author Tomomi Tsutsui adds a swipe of satrical polish to the pictorial gloss. A brilliant book. Hardcover; 48 pp, 29 all-colour photos; ¥2,200.
