An illustration collection that compresses the worlds you admire and depicts them as miniature worlds!

Fantasy worlds unfold all around within small spaces like gardens. This is a collection that introduces 26 illustrators from Japan and overseas and the illustrations they draw that are brimming with originality. There are about 180 illustrations featured in this collection. The worlds that the artists want to depict are condensed, and even if they’re small, they’re still well worth seeing! In addition, commentary from the artists themselves explaining their worldview is also included. This book is not only enjoyable to look through, it also serves as a reference for those wanting to expand their ideas, for those wanting to make their images more profound, and for those looking for ways to stage story ideas.

A neo retro world, a world of sweets and foods, a world that looks like science fiction...we hope you will fully enjoy the worlds created by various artists.

Some explanations on each page of works featured, along with the artist profiles at the end of the book, are in Japanese and English bilingual text.
