My Neighbor Totoro (1988) tells the adventures of two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, with the giant spirit of the forest, named Totoro by the younger Mei, who can't quite say the Japanese version of "Troll."

A contemporary-looking young woman in traditional attire walks among the scattering cherry petals, accompanied by a bevy of ducks. With the long-sleeved kimono, she might be just fresh from a university graduation ceremony.
Born in Hiroshima in 1972, the artist developed his talent for original art while working as a graphic artist for a game company. He is now an independent creator of fantasy works.
Mizoguchi is his family name; he signs his work "Shu", the short form of his given name (Shuichi). On the box his name is given as "SHU Mizoguchi", somewhat confusingly, given the recent trend to writing the family name first capitalized.
 This is a glow-in-the-dark puzzle.

A classic geisha pose - the model playfully shows off the ornate furisode sleeves of her kimono, against the background of a sumptuous red peony design. The original title, hien, is a rather fanciful word that might be translated "voluptuous scarlet."
The artist Morita Haruyo studied both Japanese art and kimono design, and she combines these with elements of her own Western-influenced technique. (She travelled to London in 1977, exactly the year I [Brian Chandler] first came to Tokyo.)
Morita is her family name: she follows the tradition of signing - and sealing - paintings with her given name only.

This dance is a classic kabuki number, entitled sagi-musume or the Heron-girl, in which the single dancer portrays the agony of love, through all its phases. By folding or unfolding parts of her costume, she can completely change her appearance. This is another chance for Haruyo to show us richly varied kimono layers, which she has set against a luxuriant purple backdrop.
The artist Morita Haruyo studied both Japanese art and kimono design, and she combines these with elements of her own Western-influenced technique. (She travelled to London in 1977, exactly the year I [Brian Chandler] first came to Tokyo.)
Morita is her family name: she follows the tradition of signing - and sealing - paintings with her given name only.

The carp is a traditional symbol of wordly success, and these two fine specimens produce a vigorous spray as they make their way up in the world. The original title, Daishôri ("Great-rise-carp") is a pun, because with different characters shôri also means "Victory".
