It's already been a year since the release of his 20th anniversary art books, "KURUMI" and "SHIZUKU." Kantoku, one of the most talented illustrators in the world, continues to captivate and excite audiences with his work across a wide range of genres, from TV anime and light novels to original works. This living legend of the industry will captivate and captivate audiences with his "Anniversary Rough Sketches," scheduled for release in December 2024, to mark the end of his memorable 20th anniversary year! This collection will feature original works such as "KURUMI," "SHIZUKU," and "Nagisa," as well as reprints of previously released and hugely popular rough sketches from his rough sketch collection series, as well as plenty of rough sketches and line drawings that are being published for the first time! Based on the theme of "experiencing the real texture of his creations," the main gallery has been divided into two sections: a "monochrome part" and a "color part." The paper and printing method used for each has been changed, allowing you to experience the more realistic texture and atmosphere of the rough sketches and line drawings.
Now, Kantoku, an epoch-making artist whose popularity is not limited to Japan but has excited people all over the world, presents this memorable volume that touches on the "origins of his creativity (rough sketches and line drawings)" filled with imagination. We hope you enjoy it!
