The images created when Junai Nakagawa added his own touch to the gentle, mysterious, “riddle-like” pictures by The Pranks speak to the viewer and stimulate their imagination. We hope you enjoy these enigmatically fascinating works that spark both your intelligence and a sense of playfulness inside you.

About the Digital Edition

Presented here is the digital edition of the surreal work “PUZZLE – ENIGMA – RIDDLE,” a collaboration of enigmatic drawings by art unit The Pranks, images shot by photographer Junai Nakagawa, and stories by writer Margaret Boy. The original was published in Japan as “PUZZLE – ENIGMA – RIDDLE: A Collection of Surreal Fantastical Art” (K&M Planning Office, published in 2025).

This digital edition is comprised of 21 works selected from the 60 works featured in “PUZZLE – ENIGMA – RIDDLE.” It depicts a surreal world that differs from the original edition and was created by media designer Mamoru Kano.

The “Puzzle – Enigma – Riddle Exhibition” will be held to commemorate the publication of the book PUZZLE – ENIGMA – RIDDLE. Original prints and reworked artworks will be exhibited, and advance orders will be taken for the original version of the book. Please check the official website for details.
