Abstract

This is the latest artwork collection from Yuko Higuchi.
Higuchi renders a fantastical world where “cuteness” and
Gothic images intermingle. Her art style has been gathering
attention worldwide. Higuchi’s recognition has grown even
greater after GUCCI, the famous Italian fashion brand,
released a collaborative series with her. This book contains
Higuchi’s soulful artwork and also presents sixteen pages of
Higuchi’s newly produced artworks (Hikyo na komori) along
with the various works of art that were not presented in the
first publication, The Yuko Higuchi Artworks. It also has rarely
publicized artworks that only a handful of lucky people have
seen before. It is surely a must-have and something that any
Higuchi fans would truly covet.
