Gomineko's newest release JAPANESE GHOST STORIES now available at www.gominekobooks.com Gomineko’s newest publication Japanese Ghost Stories is the end result of a year long art project.

It includes illustrations based on four different Japanese ghost stories, submitted by 62 unique international artists, including Jack “Horimouja” Mosher, Horimasa, Ade, Cody Meyer, Tim Kern, Horizaru, Horigyn, Hougen and more. The project was created to explore how Westerners approach old Japanese myths and legends, most of which are quite culturally diverse and unique. The artists were asked to adhere to certain elements of the story but ultimately were given creative license. The artwork submitted for the project was incredibly varied in terms of style and approach, making this a compelling collection of illustrations and an interesting look into how the western mind, as well as that of present day Japan, approach these antiquated tales.The book is softcover, 124 pages, A4 in size and $48. We also did a run of special edition hardbacks (s/n limited to 300) for the artists and are selling what remains of those on our website for $100
