    Aida Makoto: Exhibition Catalog
    This exhibition catalog presents a vivid and provocative selection of works by acclaimed Japanese contemporary artist Aida Makoto, known for his satirical, often controversial commentary on war, pop culture, nationalism, gender, and society.

    Spanning 72 pages, the catalog includes black-and-white and full-color reproductions of Aida’s distinctive and often unsettling work. Featured pieces include the notorious “A Picture of an Air Raid on New York”, as well as works depicting Japanese schoolgirls, manga-inspired aesthetics, interstellar fantasies, militaristic imagery, and reinterpretations of traditional Japanese art.

    The book is richly illustrated, including artwork on the inside front and back covers, and is printed in both English and Japanese, making it accessible to an international audience. This catalog captures the confrontational energy of Aida's practice and serves as both an exhibition companion and a standalone visual statement.
