A tokonoma is an alcove in the home where a picture or work of art can be placed for meditation.

The book 'Tokonoma' is an editioned piece that presents a collection of twenty haiku and tanka by James Kirkup. Each verse has been printed on a sheet of Japanese hand-made paper specially made by Masao Seki and accompanied by a striking woodcut by Naoko Matsubara. The images have been printed in one, two, or five colours by Alan Flint in Canada under Naoko Matsubara's supervision. The sheets are housed in a box constructed to allow one verse at a time to be displayed, much as one might display a photograph or favourite picture. The twenty-five sheets (each about 33cm by 26cm) are held in a tray covered in black cloth with a perspex lid. The back of the tray allows it to stand so that the top sheet is displayed. A slip case protects the whole. This hybrid of book and picture means that the poetry and pictures can be changed with time or whim. Every copy is signed by the four collaborators.

Book "Other Goose"

by Barbara Klunder

In this gently subversive book, artist and designer Barbara Klunder takes classic nursery rhymes and turns them on their heads, adding her own quirky twist to familiar favourites. Rock-a-bye baby laments the loss of her treetop to logging. Old Mother Hubbard must resort to a food bank. Jack and Jill discover that their well water is polluted, and Mary watches her garden flourish with weeding and fertilizing. Second-hand smoke, recycling, allergies, logging, pollution, oil spills, gasoline shortages and crooked politicians are all treated with Klunderesque whimsy and wit. Graphically striking, spiky, engaging black-and-white illustrations drive the point home -- what are we doing to the planet? Other Goose is a great family read as well as a gift book for all ages.

Barbara Wyn Klunder is an eclectic artist gifted in many genres and media, from designing hand-knit sweaters, hand-hooked rugs and fonts to illustration work. She is well known for her commitment to human rights and environmental causes. She teaches at the Art Gallery of Ontario and her textile work has been exhibited at Abbozzo Gallery.

$35.00 CAD including any taxes, shipping and handling to Canada and continental USA only. For shipping to other destinations, please contact the gallery.
