Description
What happened in Tokyo!? The first artbook from Tokyo Genso, an artist active in Japan and internationally.
Tokyo Genso is a creator who depicts a ruined city of Tokyo with stunning creativity. Here is an ephemerally beautiful world where impossible scenes of the future stimulate the imagination.
The charm of these works lies in the fantastical worldview, in which various scenes from contemporary Japan, including Shibuya 109, Shibuya's Scramble Crossing, Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree and Ginza, are reduced to ruins.
"What I want to draw most is the moment of rising up (after a collapse) and taking a step forward. That's because there are things that can only be seen when we are lost or feeling down, and these things are a new world and a new hope." (@TOKYO GENSO)
The ruined Tokyo landscape as drawn by Tokyo Genso is characterized by verdant trees and clear blue skies, giving a sense of natural beauty.
