"Japan’s most powerful contemporary illustration XXXX" is a continuous series of 150 illustrators (there are enough) so that readers can get to know many great creators at once, and the collection is very powerful.

This is the latest one published by Taiwan in 2021.

Past unboxing:

● お久しぶり（OHISASHIBURI）↓

● (from Taiwan) GAO Yan (GAO Yan)↓

Compared to previous years, I feel that now we are selecting creators who lean towards multi-media or design fields.
You can see many eye-catching works~

Although illustrations are not absolutely good or bad, the more recent years, the more I like the works included in it! (Maybe preference will also change XD)

● Kawakami Yoshiro (KAWAKAMI Yoshiro)↓

● Express No. 2 (KYUKONIGO)↓

The cover was illustrated by Hong Kong creator "Little Thunder".

For other solo portfolios, please refer to these unboxing videos:SISTERHOOD: Selected Works of Men Xiaolei", "Kylooe Trilogy 10th Anniversary Collection Collection", "Scent of Hong Kong》！

● Little Thunder (门小雷)↓

The typography looks very comfortable, most of them are works with a few small pictures on the left page and a full page on the right page. Every illustrator has no more than 2 pages, and the whole book is very smooth to enjoy.

The information bar contains the community account, email address, and drawing tools (or media) of each illustrator.

There are several special interviews at the end, including art gallery director "Tajima Yoshinobu", illustrator "Yoneyama Mai", illustrator "Little Thunder" × art director "Arima トモユキ".
