Case Publishing books and photobooks from Tokyo

Case Publishing is a Tokyo-based publisher founded in 2015, working across photography, contemporary art, and design. Its catalogue is built on the premise that a book — and the photobook in particular — can function as a fully formed medium of expression rather than a container for documentation.

The publisher moves between several modes of bookmaking: conventional photobooks-as-catalogues that reproduce work with care and minimal intervention; books that allow photographers to develop a vision without compromise; and collective forms in which artists, designers, printers, and writers contribute to a shared result. That range is held together not by a single house style but by a consistent seriousness about what a book can become. Readers exploring Photobooks will find Case Publishing's titles among the more considered examples of Japanese art publishing currently available.

Case Publishing is also connected to Case Tokyo, an exhibition space where publishing activity and exhibition practice meet — a relationship that gives the imprint a broader presence within contemporary art culture in Japan.
