Description: New STYLE Hiroshi Watatani Art Works Men's Fashion Illustration Book from Japan Description The pinnacle of 40 years of men's fashion illustration Hiroshi Wataya is one of Japan's leading men's fashion illustrators. Even people who are not particularly interested in fashion have probably seen his illustrations somewhere. This book is the first collection of Hiroshi Wataya's work in the 40 years since his debut. He made his debut in 1979, at the age of 21, with an illustration he brought to Popeye magazine, which was published in this book, as a boy who had been sneaking peeks at his older brother's men's fashion magazines. His works, influenced by American illustrations of the 1950s, focus on men's fashion, and also depict adorable couples and happy family scenes, many of which are included in this book. On the other hand, his caricatures and interview reports, which he calls "stupid touches" and are mainly drawn for men's fashion magazines, have earned him many fans as another side of himself, and these are also included in this book. Fans of the artist's work come from a wide range of fields, including the fashion industry, and actor Shosuke Tanihara and Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko have also contributed to the art book. In addition to the precise realism, the book is packed with details of fashion and goods backed by a wealth of knowledge, as well as an exceptional sense and bright use of color. With every turn of the page, the artist's wonderful world unfolds. [Recommendations from editors] There are few illustrators in the world today who can create fashion illustrations that inherit the style of the golden age of American illustration in the 1950s with such precision, and even before the release of this art book, he has received interview requests from the New York Times, the magazine, the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University, and others. The book also includes contributions from pioneer men's fashion illustrator Kazuo Hozumi, fashion historian Kaori Nakano, and columnist Atsushi Ide, who has worked with the artist on magazine serials for a long time. It also features a long interview with the artist, covering his work from before his debut to the present, his hobbies and his own fashion, as well as words of encouragement for those aspiring to become men's fashion illustrators.
