Viola: The Art of Senbon Umishima

This collection features original artworks that are uniquely Senbon Umishima’s, including illustrations from the artist’s first collection “A Bouquet of a Thousand Flowers,” the manga “The Stories,” and more.
The works are divided into two parts: one part features illustrations and one part showcases short manga. Also included are acclaimed commercial works such as illustrations for “Suzume and the Chair,” the official spin-off picture book prequel to the film “Suzume,” which was also a big hit overseas.Sometimes colorful, sometimes chic, Senbon Umishima’s ability to draw various styles and compositions creates a dynamic sensibility that is impressive. This art book is a must-see for fans, and, for those who don’t yet know about Senbon Umishima, it is an opportunity to become a fan. The cover illustration is newly drawn, too. Following “A Bouquet of a Thousand Flowers” and “Rooms,” this is the long-awaited third collection of art works.
