"Japan’s most powerful contemporary illustration XXXX" is a series of illustrators' works that continue to be published. It is really thick enough!
Taiwan's flag publishing agency will be a regular agent every year, and the Chinese version can be received~
Past unboxing:
- Japan's Strongest Contemporary Illustrator 2021: Luxurious Collection of 150 Contemporary Artists
- Japan's Most Powerful Contemporary Illustrator 2019: Luxurious Collection of 150 Contemporary Artists
- Japan's Best Contemporary Illustrator 2018: A Collection of 150 Best Contemporary Artists
Although I know that the word "strongest" in the title of the book may be named this way for book marketing, I personally feel that illustration does not matter the strongest.
The cover is drawn by "ダイスケリチャード (Daisuke Richard)". Recently, Taiwan has also represented his personal collection "Sink: Daisuke Richard Making & Works". And the "Chou Shisandian ダイスケリチャード publication commemorative exhibition".

The typography looks very comfortable, most of which are a few small pictures on the left page and a full-page work on the right page. The whole book is very smooth to enjoy.
Every illustrator is no more than no less than 2 pages, unlike some collections of publications where there are many people and few people. The information bar contains the community account, email address, and drawing tools (or media) of each illustrator.

There are so many illustrators (150) in this series that it’s a little bit paralyzed after turning it from head to back. XD
Many works are amazing, and the styles of painting are very diverse!

The binding design of the 2020 edition is also done by the cutting-edge designer Arima Tomoyu. He works at the Japan Design Center and has been the art director of the "Japan Contemporary Strongest Illustrations" series since the earliest version, which can be said to be a guarantee of the quality of this book! For the cover illustration, please go to the super popular illustrator DAISUKERICHARD (DAISUKERICHARD) to be responsible for drawing. In view of the fact that the previous two editions are both blue, ダイスケリチャード uses pink color with light lines, which brings a new atmosphere to the book. In addition, in order to differentiate from the 2019 edition, among the 150 artists included in this book, about 90% are newly included authors. Only a few teachers are familiar faces that have appeared before, but they also come up with the latest ones. The works were celebrated together.
