Wonderland: The Art of Nanaco Yashiro

(A) Nanaco Yashiro

The first commercial collection of work by Nanaco Yashiro, an illustrator who has attracted international attention for her fluid lines, vivid colours, and vintage style. Nanaco Yashiro's illustrations feature various motifs such as a woman in a feathered robe from Japanese mythology, a large tiger reminiscent of Arabia, a man in a spacesuit, and concept art for an imaginary movie about heaven and hell that the illustrator created herself and are each drawn sometimes in delicately refined watercolour brushwork and at other times in bold strokes with acrylic gouache. This book contains nearly 120 carefully selected illustrations, including many that have been newly drawn for this book, which are grouped in different themes, such as plants, animals, beautiful women, and fairy tales, allowing readers to enjoy the lovely and mysterious world of Yashiro's works. This book will not only appeal to Nanaco Yashiro's current fans but will also captivate those who are new to her beautiful, delicate, and colourful illustrations.
