"Terry Johnson's Secret Notebook," published under the pseudonym Terry Johnson by Japanese illustrator and designer Teruhiko Yumura (1942-), is a book that reveals not his finished works, but his private world before his artistic expression was born. In the schedule book he carried with him every day, not only were appointments and notes pasted in, but also illustrations, letters, photographs, and clippings of printed materials drawn as ideas came to him, creating a unique world where a sketchbook, scrapbook, and idea notebook are all intertwined. The acts of drawing, writing, pasting, and collecting seem chaotic yet create a strange rhythm, and each page is like an improvisational collage. You can get a close look at Yumura's creative and thought process, seeing what caught his eye, what he found interesting, and how he incorporated them into his own expression. This isn't the finished product of "skillfully clumsy" art, but rather a "secret notebook" that vividly captures the feelings and ideas that form its source—just as the title suggests.
