megumi asakura
"I want to capture every moment of everything that I see with my own eyes, like the lens of a camera. I enjoy illustrating subjects such as fairy tales and classical literature...”
Asakura's sophisticated, flowing lines are adorned by vibrant colors created from a collage of origami and various colored papers. Her illustrations have been featured on the Japanese editions of many international bestsellers.
