Fragile Exhibition

Fukumi City

In 2025, we will be holding a "Fukumimi Market" as the first exhibition of the year. With the hope that a little good fortune will come to you this year, we have collected vintage books with selvedge. In the world of books, "Fukumimi" refers to a failed book that is cut while the paper is still folded inwards during binding. Now, with the level of bookbinding machines and inspection accuracy having improved dramatically compared to a generation ago, "Fukumimi" has become a rare misprint that is almost impossible to find. Moreover, since it is a defective product that should never be on the market in the first place, even if it miraculously manages to get through the bookbinder's check and make it to a bookstore, it is nothing short of a miracle that the fact that it has selvedge has been hidden for decades, remaining something that should be returned. The books we have selected here12The book is20From the year100This is a vintage book with a selvedge that was published years ago. Why not add a copy to your home as a good luck decoration or lucky charm?
