BOOK AND SONS is a Tokyo-based bookstore and project space dedicated to photography and art books from Japan and abroad. Founded with a strong commitment to independent publishing, the space approaches books not simply as retail objects, but as cultural works shaped by artistic intention, editorial vision, and material quality. Its carefully curated selection spans emerging artists, established figures, and small publishers, with particular emphasis on design, printing, and craftsmanship. In addition to its bookstore activities, BOOK AND SONS regularly organizes exhibitions, book launches, and artist talks, creating opportunities for direct exchange between artists, publishers, and audiences. Through these ongoing practices, the space functions as a platform for discovery and dialogue, while actively supporting independent voices and introducing Japan’s contemporary photography and art scenes within an international context.
