<Working environment>
Our office is located in Otsuka, which was once a Karyukai (entertainment area) in the Edo Era about 200 years ago, and we have renovated the building which used to be a film processing company. About five minutes walk from Otsuka station of Toden Arakawa, the only tram in existence in Tokyo. Row of cherry blossoms trees along the street in front of our office is full bloom in spring, which is delight to the eyes. With such a casual and comfortable atmosphere in a downtown area rather than a hip and cool area in Tokyo, we are enjoying creating books for the people in the world.

📖Tokyo Genso's Apocalyptic Stroll📖 is now available in Asia/Oceania!
*Worldwide Release: Feb 2, 2027

A new frontier from the genius behind the quintessence of Tokyo fantasy. A hand-drawn, sketch-based picture scroll of the labyrinth called Tokyo.

While creating his earlier work, “OSAKA GENSO”, Tokyo Genso discovered the joy of “fantasy sketching” using analog watercolors, and now always carries a small sketchbook and simple watercolor set when going out. Having grown up watching “Hadaka no Taishō Hōrōki” on television as a child, he realized, “Ah, this is the style of painting I always dreamed of creating” and set off alone for a weekend in the “ruins” of Tokyo.
This collection of sketches by TOKYO GENSO, whose unique style is popular both in Japan and internationally, follows “TOKYO GENSO ARTWORKS”, “TOKYO GENSO ARTWORKSⅡ” and “OSAKA GENSO”.

📖Accessorize Fashion Illustration Outfit Inspiration with Accessories📖 is now available in worldwide!

A collection of fashion illustrations specializing in expressions of accessories.

Accessorize Fashion Illustration: Outfit Inspiration with Accessories” is a collection that introduces 40 creators who portray attractive fashion accessories and their artworks.
In order for fashion illustrations to bring your characters to life, accessories that match their style are a must. By combining accessories with different motifs, you can freely express your character’s individuality.
In this book the term “fashion accessories” is defined as anything that is worn on the body or clothing for the purpose of looking stylish. The book features fashion illustrations of a wide variety of items that adorn the body from head to toe.

Starting with rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, hats, belts, hair accessories and more, don’t miss the metallic shine and intricate details in the texture and silhouette of materials such as ribbons, pearls and chains, too.
This book is filled with fashion illustrations that are so striking, they seem real enough to touch.

The original cover illustration was created by Nanase Miri, an illustrator known for detailed yet bold drawings of sophisticated characters adorned with beautiful ornaments.
Designed by the same designer responsible for creative direction for the “Fashion Illustration” series, each creator’s unique world view has been showcased in a fashionable book design.

At the end of the book, in addition to an illustrated column about accessories and comments on fashion from each creator, there are also QR codes that let you immediately follow the social media accounts of your favorite creators.
We hope you enjoy the accessories, each with its own style, painstakingly drawn by these 40 creators.

📖omi kim Photography Collection Osaka Romantics📖 is now available in Asia/Oceania!
*Worldwide Release: Jan 5, 2027

The first photography collection from the singular photographer, omi kim.
A familiar cityscape transforms into vibrant colors.
Everyday Osaka is transformed into a cyberpunk world.

This is a photography collection that perfectly captures the ever-increasing energy of the city with ultra-high saturation visuals.
The setting is Osaka──a cityscape that is endlessly, profoundly and sharply changing, portrayed as a “real-life science fiction movie”.
Rain-drenched neon, rusty pipes, and the cool blues lurking in the business district.
The sight of electronic lights emanating through humid air is the very definition of cyberpunk.
This book is structured like a movie, spanning from nightfall until dawn.
With each turn of the page, familiar Osaka shows a slightly different face.
The result is not fantasy, but the “actual future” that we inhabit together.
Experience for yourself the story of a city where light and shadow, solitude and silence intersect.

CONTENTS
I. The night begins.
II. The city, at night, in the rain
III. This one special night.
IV. Back to everyday life again.
V. A new morning will come again.
