New Yoshitaka Amano Artbook

Hi all!

Yoshitaka Amano, who did character designs for the three original Gatchaman TV series, has a new art book out. This book, "Yoshitaka Amano - The World Beyond Your Imagination," was published in conjunction with a same-named exhibition of Amano's artwork at the Contemporary Art Museum Kumamoto in Kumamoto, Japan. The exhibition is a retrospective of Amano's career as an artist, including illustrations he has done of famous Tatsunoko characters, among them some from Gatchaman. The art book is made up of images of the artwork from the exhibition.

The book is currently only available in Japan, and as such can be ordered through outlets like Amazon Japan. Fortunately, Amazon Japan will ship overseas, and has easy to follow English instructions on how to do so. Anyway, the book can be found here:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4756246044

If you'd like to see information on the exhibit itself, the Contemporary Art Museum Kumamoto has an English language webpage for it here:

The exhibition runs through November 23rd, should you happen to be in Kumamoto before then.
