In November 2022, Japan hosted a global traveling exhibition by the Victoria & Albert Museum, reflecting on the achievements of British fashion designer, Mary Quant. At the same time, the film "Quant" was released, and the area around Bunkamura in Shibuya, Tokyo, took on the semblance of a Mary Quant festival.

Many people, including those encountering the designer Mary for the first time, had a renewed recognition of how she changed the way women and society existed through fashion. In April of the following year, this great designer embarked on a peaceful journey at the age of 93. Coming just after her life's work was summed up by the world tour exhibition and the film, it appeared to be a perfect way to end her life.

Tracing the Path of the Book "Mary Quant"

Fortunately, as the curator of the 'Mary Quant Exhibition', the exhibition itself was naturally admirable. However, the book "Mary Quant" which was also supervised and translated for the exhibition catalogue, far exceeded the usual level of catalogues.
