Contemporary Japanese illustrators step into the world of some of the most famous painters in history with “Eshi de Irodoru Sekai no Meiga” (The World of Famous Masterpieces Coloured by Illustrators), a book to be released on May 25, 2016.

The book is 122 B5-sized (182mm x 257mm) pages bursting with color and featuring illustrators like Shiro (Yama no Susume), Kazuharukina, and Rin Horuma among the 43 contributors reimagining works such as Vermeer’s “Girl With a Pearl Earring”, Munch’s “The Scream”, and Tawaraya Sotatsu’s “Fujin Raijin-zu”.

Not simply a picture book, there are charts and discussion/comparison of the artists from both time periods. A limited number of special postcards will be given to those who purchase the book in-store as well.
