“I only draw girls. I only draw the beautiful people who live in my mind.”
— Cotoh
The women in Cotoh’s work seem to exist in a moment suspended between melancholy and calm. Every gaze, every line, holds a story that needs no words.
This book brings together the most intimate works of the Japanese artist who has redefined illustration with a minimalist and deeply emotional elegance.
His portraits, drawn with an almost cinematic sensitivity, explore the beauty hidden in everyday life: the fragility of an expression, the weight of a glance, the light that passes through silence.
In his world, the young women do not pose—they breathe. They are mirrors of a generation that finds poetry and delicacy in introspection.
These illustrations trace a visual journey through contemporary Japanese sensibility, where the ephemeral becomes eternal.
An exquisite edition for those who seek art that moves and beauty that endures.
