The Mysterious Journey to HAMADARAKA
I first heard of the strangely-named art unit, formed of twins Eru and Emu Arizono, and set about researching them on the net.

Manga × Culture Vol.1 Akino Kondoh
From young girls and bugs, to bodies, blood, and alter egos, Akino Kondoh's artwork seems full of the cruelty and sexual curiosity found in young women who to pass fully into adulthood, along with the high self-consciousness characteristic of early adolescence.

Interview with Yuki Koida
With the superbly-judged application of acrylic paint on top of the clean-cut shapes of her printed objects, Koida's works manage to throw off the somehow idyllic, pastoral quality that clings to most works of the woodblock print genre.
