Traditional Kyoto-style confections, embraced with contemporary sensibilities. Fun to look at, delicious to eat: wagashi. New shapes for these time-honored Japanese sweets. This is the first collection in book form of the wagashi team Nikka, who produce marvelously creative confections from their base in Kyoto. Extracting a single frame from the film of ordinary everyday life is the central motif in their work. Common day-to-day scenes that often go unnoticed are taken up with great care, and expressed in unique, lovely designs. This collection includes over 80 of Nikka’s creations, along with sketches and photographs of the confectioners at work.
