稀代のミュージシャンによるフォト・メモワール。 1999年7月1日、ニーナ・シモンは、イギリスで最後となる貴重な公演を行った。感動的なステージの終演後、客席にいたウォーレン・エリスはステージに向かい、ニーナ・シモンが噛んだガムをピアノから取り、彼女のステージタオルに包んで持ち帰った。 それから20年。ガムはずっとウォーレンの手元にあり、彼のクリエーティブな営みを支える力となった。そして2019年、エリスの親友でありコラボレーションパートナーのニック・ケイヴが、自身の「ストレンジャー・ザン・カインドネス（Stranger Than Kindness）」展に何か出品しないかと彼に尋ね、ガムの運命が動き出す。ウォーレンはガムを銀と金で鋳造させる。ガムが、誰も予想できなかった出来事の連鎖を引き起こす。 一見取るに足らないもの、すぐに捨てられてしまうようなものが、人と人とのあいだに美しいつながりを生み出していく。これはものや経験に意味が与えられ、精神性を帯びていくことについての物語であり、創作のプロセス、そこから生まれる作品の力、そして愛と友情とを讃えている。序文：ニック・ケイヴ。

Shipping
We ship worldwide (excluding Japan). Shipping is added at checkout, and each additional book costs less to ship than the first – the amounts are shown in your currency on the product page and in the cart. Orders ship from Japan via Japan Post within 5 business days (excluding Japanese weekends and holidays); delivery typically takes 10–30 days after shipment.
Depending on the number of books and total weight, your order may be split into multiple parcels because of Japan Post weight limits (e.g. 2 kg per parcel). There is no extra charge, and each parcel has its own tracking number.
Import duties and taxes (VAT, etc.) are the responsibility of the recipient under local law (DDU). Parcels returned because delivery was refused are not refunded.
Returns
Because books can be read or copied once opened, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind. For missing or misbound pages, shipping damage or an incorrect item, contact us with photos within 7 days of delivery. Minor shelf wear from distribution (light rubbing or small creases) is normal for new books and is not covered.
