- Artist Info
The 4th print edition of the book by Japanese wig artist, Tomihiro Kono
A striking visual anthology of transformation and identity. This 176-page, full-color book published by artist-run creative platform konomad captures 111 handmade wigs by artist Tomihiro Kono, each presented on a single model photographed by long time collaborator, Sayaka Maruyama.
More than just a catalogue of hairstyles, Personas 111 explores how hair and the wig serve as a mask, a vehicle for metamorphosis, a way to express identity, shift roles, or hide behind personas. Kono’s work draws on his two decades of experience in hair and styling, melding craftsmanship with artistry to create pieces that feel like theatrical characters unto themselves.
