Tokyo Genso Art Works

Tokyo Genso is a creator who depicts a ruined city of Tokyo with stunning creativity. Here is an ephemerally beautiful world where impossible scenes of the future stimulate the imagination.
The charm of these works lies in the fantastical worldview, in which various scenes from contemporary Japan, including Shibuya 109, Shibuya’s Scramble Crossing, Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree and Ginza, are reduced to ruins.
“What I want to draw most is the moment of rising up (after a collapse) and taking a step forward. That’s because there are things that can only be seen when we are lost or feeling down, and these things are a new world and a new hope.” (@TOKYO GENSO)
The ruined Tokyo landscape as drawn by Tokyo Genso is characterized by verdant trees and clear blue skies, giving a sense of natural beauty.
We hope you will thoroughly enjoy these vividly depicted scenes.

Japanese Woodblock Prints 1680 - 1980: Worcester Art Museum
136 pages. Hardcover.
A major new survey of an internationally significant collection of Japanese woodblock prints.
This wide-ranging volume brings together over seventy five significant woodblock prints from the collection of Worcester Art Museum, MA, spanning three hundred years, from the seventeenth century through the twentieth. Organized chronologically, it begins with rare, and in some cases unique, examples of Edo-period (1603-1868) woodblock ukiyo-e prints, many of which were sourced from the museum's seminal John Chandler Bancroft collection, donated in 1901. Encompassing a diverse range of sizes, materials, and subjects, among the renowned artists represented are Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kunisada, Utagawa Hiroshige.
This volume then surveys later periods and artists associated with Japanese print output during the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Meiji (1868-1912) and Taishō (1912-1926) periods including many produced by artists working as part of the Shin-hanga "new prints" and Sōsaku-hanga "creative print" movements. The works from this time period include designs by such influential artists as Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Kamisaka Sekka, Hashiguchi Goyo, Yoshida Hiroshi, Kōshirō Onchi and Ito Shinsui.
Finally, later post-war prints featured in the catalogue, dated to the 1950's onwards, manifest the influence of international art movements including Cubism, Surrealism and Popart.

Six months in, a wisecracking talking goat shows up at their door with bad news: Thousands of years of previous seders have accumulated underneath their seder, and their afikoman is stuck in one of them.

Theo Ellsworth - The Understanding Monster (Book Three)
64 pages, measures 9 x 11.25 tall. Hardcover, full color.
This highly-anticipated third book completes Theo Ellworth's epic adventure, which the New York Times calls "an urgent (and often very funny) attempt to explain a coocoo-rococo cosmology made up of garbled fragments of role-playing games, Transformers episodes, relaxation exercises and horror movies."
Eleanor Davis, author of How to be Happy, writes: "Theo Ellsworth's comics don't make normal sense; they make a sort of super-psychic sense. His stories are filled with pure terror, pure hope, and pure, weird, unwavering love."
In The Understanding Monster - Book Three, our hero, Izadore, awakes to find his mind, body and soul reunited. The last Monks of the Imaginary Man lead him on a journey beyond Toy Mountain to discover the true nature of the relationship between creativity and reality.
