Sumi

Sumi presents Inoue's magnificent pen and brush work in black and white. It also includes a behind the scenes look at Vagabond with rough sketches and photos of Inoue's studio.

In a recent interview, Takehiko Inoue said that, in his first major follow-up to Slam Dunk, he wanted to delve as deeply as possible into visual artistry. This artbook captures the very best of Inoue's work, with images hand-selected by Inoue himself.

The result was the incredibly realized world of Vagabond, the Sistine Chapel of manga.
