Description: The second art book by Haruko Ichikawa, following The Crystallization of Love, released in 2017. This volume features cover illustrations from volumes 9 through 13 of Land of the Lustrous, magazine covers, illustrations from special editions, and large-format poster illustrations displayed at Shibuya Station and Umeda Station to commemorate the conclusion of the series. It also includes newly drawn characters who never appeared in the series, along with a wealth of cover illustrations created for external projects. The book features over 10,000 Japanese characters’ worth of commentary by Ichikawa herself, offering detailed insight into the illustrations. Presented in a luxurious 352-page codex binding that opens nearly 180 degrees, this one-of-a-kind art book is designed to let you fully appreciate the artwork. As with her previous book, Ichikawa personally oversaw the book’s composition and design.
