Akio Nagasawa Publishing

Akio Nagasawa Publishing is a Tokyo-based imprint operating alongside the Akio Nagasawa Gallery, with locations in Ginza, Aoyama, and Toranomon. Its catalogue focuses on Japanese postwar and contemporary photography, producing artist books and monographs intended to reach audiences both within Japan and internationally.

About the Publisher

The imprint approaches each publication as an art object in its own right — attending to binding, paper quality, layout, and editorial structure as integral to the work rather than incidental to it. Titles are produced in close collaboration with artists, often realising projects that had not previously been brought to completion. The result is a body of Photobooks and artist publications distinguished by material care and editorial precision. Print runs are typically limited, and the books function as primary documents of an artist's practice rather than retrospective catalogues.
