Synopsis

Come to a place once called Tokyo in the second collection of art works by TOKYO GENSO!!

TOKYO GENSO is a creator who depicts a ruined city of Tokyo with stunning creativity. That worldview has attracted the attention of many people and has been acclaimed on social media. Shibuya Station, where the ground has partially collapsed and grass has covered the area; Tokyo Station covered with grass and mushrooms; Asakusa's Kaminarimon entangled by the roots of trees and more...

Here is an ephemerally beautiful world where impossible scenes of the future stimulate the imagination.

Following TOKYO GENSO ART WORKS, which was published in Japan in 2020, TOKYO GENSO ART WORKS Ⅱ is the long-awaited second volume featuring, another Tokyo, in which the creativity of TOKYO GENSO, a genius in the art of ruins, shines through once again.
