The Magic of Cabaret - Day 8This evening we present a new edition of the book ‘Moveable Illustration’ by the late Japanese automata maker Aquio Nishida.

This is a new edition of the book and is imported from Japan. It has some English text, and plenty of designs for making your own pieces of automata to Aquio’s designs.

Moveable Illustration – £30
SOLD OUT until after Christmas.

Aquio Nishida, who sadly died earlier this year, was a very talented artist and toy designer. You can see some examples of his work in the video below. He opened the Arima Toy Museum in Japan in 2005, and the exhibition which is spread over 5 floors contains a large collection of contemporary automata.

  1. Hi there – just came across one of your videos on youtube that flips through this book: “Moveable Illustration Designed by Aquoi Nishida Automata”

    Wondering if you plan to restock or if there’s a place where I can find a copy? I have become very interested in making automata and would love to read it. Thanks for all you do!

    • Sorry, as far as we know, the book is out of print.
