*Tokyo Genso Art Book* is a collection of works by Japanese illustrator Tokyo Genso, released in 2014. As the artist's name suggests, the works depict a Tokyo reclaimed by nature after humanity's disappearance. The familiar yet strange cityscape is deeply memorable!
Following this collection of works, a second collection in the series, titled "[Title of the second collection]", was released in 2020.Tokyo Fantasy Collection".
Related introductory articles:
In the collection of works, we can see familiar landmarks such as Tokyo Tower, Ameyokocho, Tokyo Skytree, Senso-ji Temple/Kaminarimon Gate, and train stations, showing how they were transformed into ruins and stained with the colors of nature after the loss of civilization (humanity).
The dilapidated state of the buildings contrasts sharply with the vibrant life of the plants. Each illustration, powerfully evocative and realistic, depicts an imagined post-apocalyptic Tokyo!
While appreciating the illustrations, one can also reflect on the development of human civilization.
Official Introduction
Tokyo Fantasy: Future Tokyo
Civilization develops at breakneck speed. Once it reaches a certain limit, will the world continue to evolve towards high technology, developing into an inorganic world resembling those in science fiction movies, or will it suffer a powerful backlash from nature, plunging into desolation? Renowned Japanese illustrator Tokyo Fantasy has created an incredible yet strangely familiar Tokyo landscape, themed around a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. Here, buildings are dilapidated, plants thrive, and selfish humans have long since vanished. Landmarks such as the Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, National Diet Building, 109 Department Store, National Stadium, Budokan, and major train stations have all been overrun by nature and are no longer what they once were. The post-processing of real photographs has resulted in such exquisite artwork, prompting admiration for Tokyo Fantasy's artistic skill and prompting deeper reflection on the future of technology.
