Book contents
Don't buy it too much! And the author must scream.
(Shigesatou Itoi)
Miken Kaga, a contemporary artist, buys something strange.
I just buy something, "Do you want to buy it?"
It's probably different from the fun of shopping.
Is this shopping art too?
What's the thing that drives that shopping?
