Specification The latest edition of the catalogue "ILLUSTRATION," which symbolizes the "current" state of illustration, commemorates the 10th anniversary of the series.

This book features 150 talented artists from across Japan's globally renowned illustration scene, from the diverse pop culture to the ever-changing internet culture.
All of the featured artists have been replaced by new artists from the previous publication, "ILLUSTRATION 2023," allowing you to experience the cutting edge of contemporary illustration.

The cover of the 10th anniversary issue, 2024, is the first artist collaboration in the series. It is a one-of-a-kind cover visual that is a collaboration between two currently popular artists, "tamimoon × hakuikishiroi".

At the end of the book, there are interviews with singer Ado, who has continued to lead the Japanese music scene since her shocking debut with "Shut Up," and art director Mori Keita, who has worked on many edgy book covers, as well as a special conversation between tamimoon and Hakuiki Shiroi, in which they talk about the production process of the book's cover visuals.

In addition, the latest printing technology "Brilliant Palette" is used for printing, which is specialized for art books and art prints. You can enjoy the charm of each artist's worldview, the use of colors and brushstrokes in every detail.

*tamimoon
An artist who portrays women with a focus on fashion. Founded the illustration model agency "tamimoon" in February 2022. Published her first art book "IDENTITY" in the same year.

*White
He began creating artworks in 2017 and began exhibiting them in 2018. His work's image, including colors, is inspired by digital information on the internet. His concept is that the artworks he creates through his own body "have mass in the material world," and the weight (in grams) of the ink he used becomes the "title" of the work. He incorporates the act of the purchaser cutting out the artwork themselves and pasting it on familiar objects into the concept of the work as a kind of complicity between the artist and the viewer.
