Movie "The Man Who Makes the Most Beautiful Book in the World ~Journey with Steidl~"

Hello, I'm Nakachi.


Although the genre is different, I have been watching movies because I thought I would be inspired.

A documentary film that pursues manufacturing.

A small publishing house called Steidl in Germany.

A publisher trusted by renowned photographers and Karl Lagerfeld.

It is deep manufacturing.

Although the genre is different, I watched it because I wanted to know that kind of depth.

A memo memo as an impression and a goal.


・Considering the value of the paper that makes up a book from all angles, such as the feel of paper, unevenness, the sound of turning pages, the smell, etc.

・Manufacturing that has been thoroughly considered, from technical aspects of paper and printing, artistic aspects such as ink composition and binding design, communication for joint production with artists, to how it looks when lined up in a bookstore. Steidl is chosen for the combination of technology and sense in all aspects, commitment and experience

・The publishing industry cannot make a profit unless it becomes a bestseller. In order to create non-commercial works (books), we also create bestsellers. (I think that was the intention)

・The ability to earn trust and sell, and the ability to create on your own.

・At the manufacturing site, I felt like a maniac who was immersed in the world.


Steidl is so cool, he was a worker I wanted to aim for.
