Torayan’s Great Adventure (picture book)
-- One night, as he(Torayan) gazed up at the stars, a little spark of light came falling toward him. "A shooting star?" It was a small, small sun. Yanobe's first picture book, bringing together a ten-year period since his visit in 1997, dressed in the Atom Suit, to the destroyed nursery school in Chernobyl, and using as its motif the doll and the painting of the sun that he found there. With its compositional interweaving of wild fantasy and real documentation, this work is re-portrayal through the eyes of Torayan of numerous art projects that have been realized by Yanobe.
