Kotarou-sensei’s illustrations radiate a vibrant brilliance through their artistic embellishments, created with a delicate touch,
and their deep gradients that convey a sense of depth even within their soft tones.

The girls are not merely delicate and adorable; they carry a certain shadow within them.

Their expressions and gestures—whether conveying transience, poignancy, anger, suffering, joy, delight, or pride—evoke a variety of “emotions” in every single piece.

​

The beautiful accessories, decorations, and costumes, lavishly displayed, further stir the imagination.

​

​Exploring every corner of a single painting,
gathering all those little fragments,
and tracing the memories of a deep story—one that differs from the impression you had upon first viewing—is surely one of the joys of this experience.
