Tokyo on Foot
This prize-winning book is both an illustrated tour of a Tokyo rarely seen in Japan travel guides and an artist's warm, funny, visually rich, and always entertaining graphic memoir. Florent Chavouet, a young graphic artist, spent six months exploring Tokyo while his girlfriend interned at a company there. Each day he would set forth with a pouch full of color pencils and a sketchpad, and visit different neighborhoods. This stunning book records the city that he got to know during his adventures. It isn't the Tokyo of packaged tours and glossy guidebooks, but a grittier, vibrant place, full of ordinary people going about their daily lives and the scenes and activities that unfold on the stree...
Manabeshima Island Japan
More than just a Japan travel guide, Manabeshima Island Japan paints a colorful and entertaining picture of a particular place and time in Japan. Japan is made up of thousands of sacred islands, artificial islands, industrial islands, resort islands, wild islands and exploding islands…but artist Florent Chavouet had only ever visited two of them. This graphic novel is the story of one summer when he decides to get to know one more--the tiny island of Manabeshima. This speck of dirt in the Inland Sea, off the coast of Osaka, has a total population of 300, and he sets himself the task of recording everything and everyone he meets there in quirky detail on the pages of his sketchbook. Whereas...
Manabé Shima
Un viaje gráfico e imprescindible al Japón más auténtico y rural. Japón es tanto una isla como un archipiélago. Y entre las cuatro mil islas que lo componen, el artista e ilustrador francés Florent Chavouet escogió una, la apacible y minúscula Manabé (trescientos habitantes, diez vehículos y tres conexiones a internet), para pasar dos meses conviviendo con sus gentes y dibujando. Como Tokyo Sanpo, su anterior obra, éste es un libro muy personal, una singular combinación de diario y guía, de crónica de aventuras e inventario de curiosidades y de instantes fugaces cazados al vuelo. La vida cotidiana en esta islita de pescadores, cuya atmósfera de calma y serenidad contrasta con el ajetreo de Tokio, emerge aquí con igual intensidad y extravagancia, gracias al interés insaciable de Florent Chavouet, a su ojo para el detalle y su sentido del humor.
L'île Louvre
Le musée du Louvre est devenu île, sous les crayons de couleurs de Florent Chavouet. Muni d’un pass délivré par les autorités du musée, il se rend sur ce territoire insulaire à la rencontre de ses habitants (ceux qui travaillent dans cette institution), de ses visiteurs (les touristes du monde entier) et de ses paysages (l’ensemble des salles et des oeuvres exposées). Carnet de voyage en main, l’auteur s’amuse à nous décrire cette île-musée et ses traditions. Au fur et à mesure de ses déambulations, il nous plonge ainsi dans la vie quotidienne du Louvre, restituant avec un sens du détail digne des plus grands enlumineurs, les lieux les plus courus comme d’autres bien moins connus ! Les éditions du Louvre et Futuropolis, poursuivent avec Florent Chavouet, leurs parutions où carte blanche est donnée aux artistes.
L’île Louvre
Chacun d’entre eux devient, le temps d’un livre, un visiteur aux yeux grands ouverts, parcourant l’immense palais qui abrite les collections inouïes du grand musée. Regards toujours inattendus, libres et pétillants. Une visite personnelle et inédite d’un des lieux les plus fréquentés du monde. Chavouet, passionné de géographie et collectionneur de cartes, dessine ici le Louvre comme jamais et donne au musée une autre mémoire en ouvrant les canaux de l’imagination.
Tokyo Travel Sketchbook
Tokyo Travel Sketchbook traces the journey of illustrator and graphic designer Amaia Arrazola on a four-week trip through the beating heart of Tokyo. When Arrazola accepts a month long artist's residency in the Japanese capital, she has little idea of what to expect but gamely packs her paints and pencils and seizes the opportunity to create an illustrated diary of her time there, filling the pages of her sketchbooks with curious images of life in the world's largest city. This book provides readers with a unique vision of Japan's capital, as seen through the eyes of an artist. Arrazola immerses herself in the cult of Hello Kitty and the pop-eyed charms of "Kawaii" cute culture, while convey...
Tokyo Love Story
A funny and intimate travelogue of one woman's unexpected adventures in Japan. French illustrator Julie Blanchin-Fujita arrived in Tokyo for what she thought would be a one-year stint, and ended up never leaving. In this graphic novel-style memoir she shares her love of Japan, while depicting personal experiences and stories from her life in Tokyo--from the exotic (sumo wrestlers, ramen, hot springs, tatami mats, bentos, Japanese trains, Mount Fuji, earthquakes) to the everyday (hanging out with friends, moving houses, falling in love). Her voyage of discovery in the world's most exciting city will appeal to a broad range of readers--from those contemplating a trip to Tokyo and Japanophiles to fans of graphic novels and anyone who enjoys a good manga love story. Packed with keen cultural observations, this enchanting story is told in both English and Japanese--also making it a great language learning resource.
