Striking Black, Captivating White
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.

Kotarou's Story
Q: How do you create your own work?
When something you want to draw comes to mind, make a bulleted note of it so you don't forget.
Even after I've drawn up the rough sketch, if a good idea comes to mind, I add elements as I go along.
The rest is just the feeling of ""sticking to what I like and what I want to draw."
Q: What is your source of inspiration?
Music, fashion, horror movies, ruins, and negative emotions.
I'm particularly inspired by fashion.
When I see beautiful clothing such as uniforms, national costumes, or medieval Western dresses, I always think, "What would it be like if I combined this motif with this clothing, added my favorite elements, and created a different design?"
Q: What do you want to convey through your illustrations?
I just draw what I like, so I've never had any desire to convey anything, but I hope that my work can be a small ray of light to someone.
Enjoy the artwork with beautiful reproductions of the original pieces.
