This leaflet accompanied the solo exhibition of the artist in 2012.
'The 'Cool Japan' in the title of the exhibition is a catchphrase devised by the Japanese government. It is a self-branding exercise that encapsulates its active attempts to promote various forms of Japanese culture to an international audience. Takamine uses the catchphrase in ironical way to search for what has built 'Japaneseness'.' - excerpt from the leaflet
