Published to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Okashimaru, Sayoko Sugiyama’s Kyoto-based confectionery studio, ‘Confections by Okashimaru’ features 30 of her own creations. Sugiyama treats her ‘wagashi’ – traditional Japanese confectionery – not as mere food, but as experiences imbued with beauty, discovery, memory, and philosophy. Photographer Takeru Koroda captures the visual subtleties of the confections: textures, colours, delicate proportions, and intricate shapes. The book features a selection of essays that further explore the nature and history of Japanese confectionery, as well as a brief illustrated guide to techniques and tips (the latter in Japanese only).
