And, do you still hear the peacocks? - Miho Kajioka

'Right after the accident, I found a blog about peacocks that were left in the evacuation zone, within the 20km limit. I then started imagining  those peacocks, walking around the empty town with their beautiful wings spread.'

This text is from my previous book "And, where did the peacocks go?". My newest book is the new version of the series about what I have experienced and digested from the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident in 2011. That incident pushed me to return to art, which I had stopped for more than 10 years. In this book, I also used the text above but I added this line in the end:

'I still wonder where they went...'

- Miho Kajioka

We are happy to announce that our artist Miho Kajioka has asked the (M)éditions & IBASHO to publish a book based on her self-published and handmade book  'And, can you still hear the peacocks?'. We are currently very busy with realising Kajioka's wish to publish a limited edition book of 500 regular copies and 50 special editions with an original toned gelatin silver print/colour inkjet print on Japanese paper (10 different images to choose from). 

When you buy the book in pre-sale, you will receive an exclusive invitation - a handmade postcard by Kajioka - for the launch party that will take place in Paris. During the launch party you will receive your copy from Kajioka herself and signed by her. If you are not able to come to the party, we will make sure your copy will be sent to you.
