What are artists' art books?

This category gathers art books of Japanese illustrators, mangaka and animation artists. They are not art books of a specific work, but books whose protagonist is the artist themselves: volumes that let you contemplate at a glance everything a draftsperson has created throughout their career. Looking at an artist apart from a single work, what emerges is the line and the color that belong to them alone, the motifs they draw over and over, the evolution of their style.

Today's illustrators

Today, much of the most vibrant drawing is born on social media and on publishing platforms. The art books of illustrators representative of the pixiv era — MikaPikaZo, Seiji Yoshida, Posuka Demizu — occupy a large part of this category. Around Genkosha, a publisher specialized in publishing illustration, are gathered volumes that collect the color work of popular artists, unpublished illustrations and even their creation processes. It is the shelf for those who want to discover new talent.

The graphic work of the mangaka

The art books of the mangaka show a face different from that of their series. Rumiko Takahashi, Hisashi Eguchi, Taiyo Matsumoto, Inio Asano: in the art books of authors who have been drawing for decades, there is condensed, in a single volume, not only the color illustrations of their best-known works, but also how their drawing has changed over time. They are books for savoring a mangaka's drawing in itself, rather than following a story.

The artists who sustain animation

Although their name rarely appears in large letters on the screen, there are artists who have sustained the visual creation of animation from the ground up. The art books of the creators who took charge of the backgrounds and the design — such as Kazuo Oga or Yasuo Otsuka — let you traverse in this category the immense work hidden behind the finished image.

Artists' art books

All the art books in this category are original Japanese editions. They are published by Genkosha — specialized in illustration —, as well as by Kadokawa, Kodansha, PIE International and many other publishers. Choosing a book by the name of the artist, and not by that of a work: this shelf is the gateway both to savoring the whole of a favorite artist's work and to encountering a new talent.
