Kusamori was responsible for landscape depictions in films such as GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: Innocence (created by Masamune Shirow, directed by Mamoru Oshii), Metropolis (created by Osamu Tezuka, written by Katsuhiro Otomo, directed by Rintaro), X (created by CLAMP, directed by Rintaro), which are said to be the pinnacle of Japanese animation art, along with the PSYCHO-PASS series. These works are not reproductions of real cityscapes or nature, but rather were painted as imaginary landscapes to show the world of science fiction and fantasy. But the book format is not one of my favorities. The book is quite small and some pages look like that had been cut incorrectly. Recommended if you are a great fan of this author.
