Super Labo
Established in 2009 by Yasunori Hoki, Super Labo is a Tokyo publishing house specialised in photography, and it works as publisher and shop at once: Super Labo Store Tokyo, a photography-themed concept store opened in March 2019, sells prints and edition works and hosts exhibitions. Each title is produced in Japan in close collaboration with the artist, and the site separates regular titles from special editions, photo-cards and originals, so a book often has an object or a print alongside it. The list is international, with Japanese authors beside Western photographers from fashion, street and skateboard culture, and the house takes its books to art book fairs around the world.
