Art books

Art books hold a unique place within the worlds of animation, manga, and video games. More than simple illustrated volumes, they provide access to the creative process: concept research, preparatory sketches, unpublished illustrations, interviews, and production materials.

This subcategory brings together art books from Japanese animation, manga, video games, and Japanese pop culture, selected for their artistic, documentary, and cultural value. Some shed light on the genesis of a work, while others capture the visual identity and creative spirit of an era.

A space designed for collectors and visual art enthusiasts who seek to understand creative processes, preserve these books, and regard them as objects of memory as much as sources of inspiration.
