A Japanese edition was published simultaneously by Bijutsu Shuppan-Sha Co., Ltd in Japan. The publication includes an essay by the artist, and lists over 4,500 artworks in all media executed from 1984-2010. Organized chronologically, the first volume includes over 800 paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs; Volume 2 contains 3,800 drawings. NB: Although the catalogue raisonné authors worked closely with the artist on the catalogue, in 2012 Nara declared that several of the works included in the first edition were fakes. The catalogue raisonné project published a list of fakes, omitted works, errors, and addenda to the catalogue on its website www.nara-book.com, noting that rejected works will not be listed in future editions of the catalogue.
