Feature Theme: Dream—Sleep Issue

The inaugural issue, konomad journal N°0: Dream—Sleep Issue, is a concept-driven visual book created in collaboration with 66 artists who inspired konomad, centered around the theme “The Forest of Dreams and Sleep.” This issue began with editor-in-chief Tomohiro Kono’s deep interest in the realms of sleep and dreams. Each artist interprets the theme from their own unique perspective, weaving together a collection of fantastical, dreamlike worlds. These parallel visions converge to form a richly imagined "forest of dreams" within the pages of the book.

In addition to the visual works, the journal features Q&A-style interviews exploring the artists’ personal stories and reflections related to sleep, dreams, and their creative routines. To coincide with the launch of this issue, we will host an immersive exhibition at New Gallery in Jinbocho, Tokyo, where visitors can experience the world of Dream—Sleep as it expands beyond the printed page and into physical space. For Tomohiro Kono, this issue marks the realization of a long-held creative vision and holds special significance as the first in this new journal series.
