An omnibus publication from Keijiban, an art project and publisher dedicated to producing edition works in collaboration with artists.

The inaugural issue, Kairanban #1, features new works by Futoshi Miyagi, Yukihito Kono, Hirofumi Isoya, Kenji Ide, Chan Cho Kiu Bunchi, Yui Usui, and Sawako Tanizawa. Limited to 300 copies, each edition is hand-stamped and numbered by the contributing artists.

A “kairanban” is a folder that circulates from one household to another within a neighbourhood, sharing useful information and local news. In using the same circulatory and communal pattern, Kairanban brings together the recent works of a series of Japan-based artists, each passing the baton onto a self-chosen neighbor.

Kairanban intends to present a cartography of the Japanese art scene across several issues. A map conceived following an interplay of elective affinities rather than geographical, institutional, generational or other logics. A map drawn by the artists themselves.”— from the publisher's statement
