The Other World Illustrations from Asian Myth and Folklore

Asian myths and folktales comprise a vast body of lore and contain the historical traces of thou-sands of years of migration and cultural interchange. Through the form of illustration, the artists in this volume portray these ancient stories in a visual, artistic and intuitive way, re-interpreting their philosophies and aesthetics. The book contains both single and series illustration, and aims to explore the tacit connection between illustrated works and Asian myths and to serve as inspiration for both illusrators and lovers of stories.
