📖KUSAMORI Shuichi Animation Artworks

Asia/Oceania Release: Feb 2025
Worldwide Release: Feb 2026

The first collection of works by the animation art director Kusamori Shuichi.

Shuichi Kusamori is an animation art director representing Japan. His work is the finest Japanese animation art and is a masterpiece!
Kusamori Shuichi was responsible for landscape depictions in films such as “GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: Innocence” (created by Masamune Shirow, directed by Mamoru Oshii), “Metropolis” (created by Osamu Tezuka, written by Katsuhiro Otomo, directed by Rintaro), “X” (created by CLAMP, directed by Rintaro), which are said to be the pinnacle of Japanese animation art, along with the “PSYCHO-PASS” series. These works are not reproductions of real cityscapes or nature, but rather were painted as imaginary landscapes to show the world of science fiction and fantasy. Kusamori Shuichi has expressed a fictional world with overwhelming realism. This is the first art book to gather a comprehensive collection of Kusamori Shuichi’s animation works over the past 40 years. In addition to art from a wide range of works including “GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: Innocence”, “Metropolis”, “X”, the “PSYCHO-PASS” series, “Infini-T Force”, “Divine Gate”, “Patlabor The Movie” and “GHOST IN THE SHELL”, the book also includes cover illustrations for novels and original, newly drawn illustrations.
