Some scans of harder-to-find Japanese art book images to dispel feverish and monotonous election vibes. Starting off with some Amano.
Some of the more explicitly Klimt-y Amano
Some "Oriental" Amano. The 3rd image may be a little more popular, since it& #39;s his version of the heroine Ilian from Moorcock& #39;s fantasy novels, & was used as cover art for a Japanese translation of Count Brass.
Some Amano& #39;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.
Also more popular, some of Amano& #39;s original art for Final Fantasy VII.
Some more misc. Amano
Still more misc. Amano
More misc Amano today.
Going to end with some of his illustrations of the Tale of Genji, which imo are some of his greatest works, before switching gears.
