SHIRAHIME-SYO
Published by Kobunsha Comics (1992)
The entire story was published as a completely original book, which is unusual for manga. It is a collection of three interconnected stories about love, centered around Shirahime, the goddess of snow. To create a world reminiscent of Japanese folktales, the artwork is entirely drawn using brush and ink, with no screen tones. Surprisingly, the work was completed with such high quality in just ten days from the initial request to the final manuscript. It is an ambitious work that also explores the use of new artistic materials.
