A contemporary take on a traditional Japanese technique

Japanese embroidery place importance on cultivating the individual student`s humanity and spirit which enhance the inner beauty, without focusing exclusively on learning the skill, the practical use. Such inner deepening will surely appear on their embroidery works, and, hopefully, this will also improve and brighten their lives at the same time. This is our aim on the path of Nuido - the integration of both spirit and skill - The Way of Embroidery. Our purpose is to share this enriching practice not only in Japan, where this beautiful embroidery comes from, but throughout the world with all who wish to participate. The different techniques and stitches are explained in detail. Passionate readers will also find photos of embroidered creations.

The first art book from up-and-coming illustrator Yoshioka invites you into the world of fantasy stories. Yoshioka's wonderful illustrations of plants, animals, nature and other motifs remind the audience of storybook worlds as they take them on a journey into a sometimes happy, and sometimes dark world of fantasy. In addition to the illustrator's original works, this book also includes illustrations for the TV anime series "PSYCHO-PASS 3," CD jacket illustrations for Who-ya Extended, the musician of the theme song for TV anime series "Jujutsu Kaisen," and the variant cover of "Bloodborne" (Ales Kot/Titan Comics) and much more. A feature on the making of the cover illustration is also included, providing a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Yoshioka's process for creating narrative illustrations: from the artist's work environment to drawing rough sketches, to drawing, painting, and finishing. Delve deeper into the fantasy world of stories that Yoshioka creates with this unique illustration collection.
