Kusanagi Background Art VIII (Japanese) Tankobon Softcover
The 8th in the "Background Art Book Kusanagi" series that conveys the charm of background art. The background image in the animation is not the main character, but the background drawn carefully one by one is more attractive than complimenting the work. Titles to be published (The published works are subject to change) Chapter I Non Non Biyori Chapter II Non Non Biyori Repeat Chapter III Movie Version Non Non Biyori Vacation Chapter IV Konohana Kitan, Chapter V Hakumei And Mikochi.
I recently bought this artbook from a studio called Kusanagi that makes some amazing background art for animes and in it there are some amazing background artwork that reminds me a lot of Shenmue so I decided to share it with you guys because it definitely gives us an idea of how the background art may look like in the upcoming Shenmue Anime series; so enjoy
