With its counterpart KURO, SHIRO features stunning art from through the careers of the legendary artists, from RG Veda to Cardcaptor Sakura- Clear Card. The perfect gift for the discening manga and anime fan. The professional debut of CLAMP in 1989 with RG Veda brought a new energy and style to fantasy manga, and the four-member manga collective would go on to reinvigorate and revolutionize nearly every genre. But what has set CLAMP apart from other master storytellers is the consistent beauty and creativity in their visual art. Last year, fans in Japan got a chance to celebrate this aspect of CLAMP with an acclaimed exhibition at the National Art Center in Tokyo. As part of the meticulous process of curating and restoring CLAMP's art for the exhibition, two premium art books were produced- SHIRO and KURO. Now fans worldwide will have a chance to sample the magic of that event with this English edition. Drawing on not just manga and anime but also a variety of rarities, such as magazine bonuses, a video game, a telephone card, and other official merchandise and communications, CLAMP Official Artbook COLOR SHIRO features art from series including- Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- Cardcaptor Sakura Chobits Magic Knight Rayearth xxxHOLiC CLOVER Angelic Layer X Tokyo Babylon ...and many more, including a piece created for this art book and the exhibition!
