Tokyolife, a splendid overview of contemporary art and design from Japan's cultural capital, presents the work of more than 80 architects, industrial and fashion designers, filmmakers, painters, and photographers — with commentary from experts in each creative field. Milligram Architectural Studio's Suit G House and Shigeru Ban's Glass Shutter House make ingenious use of precious, tightly confined city plots, and stylish new products by Naoto Fukasawa and Tokujin Yoshioka offer conceptual approaches to industrial design. The snappy sportswear of A Bathing Ape and the streetwise, upscale fashions of Tsumori Chisato reflect the manga-inspired lifestyles of Tokyo's youth, and in film, the gangster storylines of director Takashi Miike expose the city's underbelly. Japan's internationally renowned master of pop art, Takashi Murakami, and his talented stable of Kaikai Kiki artists — including Chiho Aoshima, Aya Takano, and Mahomi Kunikata — dominate the book's art coverage, while photography, from fashion to fine art, gets a broader view, with portfolios of work by Mika Ninagawa, Naoki Honjo, and others.

Aya Takano's work is on view in a solo show at Galerie Emannuel Perrotin in Paris through June 14. A solo show of work by Takashi Murakami is on view at LA's Blum & Poe through June 14, while his retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum continues through July 13.
