Some scans of harder-to-find Japanese art book images to dispel feverish and monotonous election vibes. Starting off with some Amano.
Some "Oriental" Amano. The 3rd image may be a little more popular, since it's his version of the heroine Ilian from Moorcock's fantasy novels, & was used as cover art for a Japanese translation of Count Brass.
Some Amano's art for The Guin Saga. The longest series of fantasy novels in the world (over 130 vols), by Kaoru Kurimoto, about an amnesiac w a leopard mask magically stuck to his face. Big influence on everything from Berserk to Dorohedoro. Still virtually unknown in the US.
Going to end with some of his illustrations of the Tale of Genji, which imo are some of his greatest works, before switching gears.
