[Book Description]

Mizumaru Anzai was one of Japan’s most celebrated illustrators, whose creative career spanned multiple decades and disciplines. Since the 1970s, he worked extensively in book design, magazine covers, poster art, fiction, essays, comics, and picture books, establishing a distinctive visual language that left a lasting mark on Japanese visual culture. From the beloved picture-book series Gatan Goton Gatan Goton to works such as Picky and Pocky, his creations are characterized by their deceptively simple lines, warmth, humor, and unmistakable charm.

This comprehensive volume traces the full trajectory of Anzai’s artistic life, from his childhood fascination with drawing to his later years as an accomplished illustrator and writer. Organized into four chapters, the book presents more than 650 illustrations, archival materials, and photographs, covering his work in illustration, book design, posters, comics, picture books, and personal documents. Together, they offer an in-depth portrait of a creator whose influence extended far beyond a single medium.

This revised edition includes newly rediscovered artworks found in Anzai’s studio in recent years, as well as Asobi (“Play”), a unique collaborative work created by Anzai himself across time: originally drawn when he was seven years old and later completed with text written by the artist at the age of sixty-one. This remarkable dialogue between his younger and older selves provides one of the book’s most moving moments and offers deeper insight into the imagination and creative spirit that remained constant throughout his life.

An essential retrospective of Mizumaru Anzai’s career, this volume serves both as a comprehensive survey of his work and as an invaluable introduction to the development of contemporary Japanese illustration.
