Résumé

Katsuya Terada, one of Japan's most celebrated illustrators and manga artists, marks his 42nd year in the industry with this powerful collection of recent works. Renowned both at home and abroad, Terada continues to captivate audiences with his bold visual language and tireless creative energy. This book brings together a selection of illustrations created for exhibitions and professional projects in recent years, serving as both a visual archive and a testament to his ever-evolving artistic journey. More than a simple compilation of artwork, the book delves into the tools Terada uses in his daily practice. From the familiar feel of pencils and ballpoint pens to the latest digital devices like the iPad, he seamlessly blends traditional and modern techniques. He doesn't shy away from experimenting with new gadgets, instead incorporating them into his workflow with curiosity and skill. His reflections on each medium are personal and practical, offering rare insight into how tools can shape, extend, and even transform one's creative expression. In the afterword, Terada writes with characteristic honesty: "Drawing, after all, requires the kind of gear that allows you to explore your own imagery. Of course, having just a pencil and a piece of paper is more than enough-that's the fundamental starting point. But beyond that, I still need tools that help me feel my way through the darkness, searching for a form of expression." This book is not just a celebration of Terada's career, but a living snapshot of a master still deep in the process of creation. It is a record of perseverance, adaptation, and artistic exploration-one that speaks not only to fans of Terada's work but to anyone who finds inspiration in the act of drawing itself. Whether you're an aspiring artist, a seasoned professional, or simply someone moved by powerful visuals, this volume offers a rare glimpse into the creative mind of a modern master.
