A retrospective of the work of the legendary design group WORKSHOP MU!!, (Yasushi Nakayama, Yukimasa Okumura, and the leader, Tatsuhiko Manabe) active in Japan from 1970-1976. WORKSHOP MU!! invented a new approach to visual sensibility and lifestyle to match the aesthetic and cultural innovations of the time. Mike Nogami, who worked with WORKSHOP MU!!, wrote the forward, and the majority of the photographs in the book (both of WORKSHOP MU!! and in their designs) are his.
