This book, *FANTASY ANIMAL FOREST*, and the one I unboxed in the previous post...CIRCUS: ヒグチユウコ albumI was at this event...Yuko Higuchi Exhibition of Fantasy Animal ForestI bought both books at the exhibition. They were Taiwan-exhibition exclusives, definitely worth having! (And both of mine were autographed by the author, so lucky 😍)

*FANTASY ANIMAL FOREST* is a B5-sized hardcover book, easy to read and enjoy, and the binding and printing are also very well done. The cover illustration is from this issue.Yuko Higuchi Exhibition of Fantasy Animal ForestThe main visual image and the text on the book cover both feature gold foil stamping.

This 144-page art book features original and commercial illustrations by artist Higuchi Yuko from 2014 to 2023. Besides showcasing the artist's latest works, the most important aspect is the inclusion of illustrations exclusive to Taiwan exhibitions: the main visual and six original drawings featuring Taiwanese characteristics. Many works are part of a series, making for a truly visually appealing collection! 🐱

Although this catalog is similar to "CIRCUS: ヒグチユウコ albumThere are a few overlapping works, but the proportion of single-page illustrations is high, making the whole book very satisfying to appreciate!

Highly recommended for collectors, take advantage of this opportunity at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.Yuko Higuchi Exhibition of Fantasy Animal ForestI purchased these two art catalogs at the exhibition, which runs until early April 2024.

With her unique taste and style, Higuchi Yuko has carved out a new path in the competitive world of illustration, and is a leading figure among Japan's emerging illustrators in recent years.
