This book presents “50 beautiful things” selected by Kazumi Sakata, a charismatic figure in the antique world, in gorgeous all-color photographs.

FURUDOGU SAKATA, an antique store loved for over 30 years on a back street in Mejiro, Tokyo, regrettably closed its doors in 2020. The owner, Kazumi Sakata’s aesthetic sense attracted many connoisseurs of the day, such as Keisuke Serizawa, a dyer, Masako Shirasu, an essayist, and Toshiro Kawase, a florist. This book is a revised edition of Sakata’s popular serialization in Geijutsu Shincho.

A special supplement to the book is a conversation with architect Yoshifumi Nakamura titled “A Place Where Things Look Beautiful” (In Japanese).
The book is bound in a specially dyed cloth cover selected by the author himself, and is bound in a box.
