1,000 Ideas by 100 Manga Artists

Haruka is an illustrator

and storyteller inspired by

history and travel. Old maps,

railway trucks, folktales,

and shabby bric-a-brac as

well as historical museum

collections are all important

sources for building her

world. In her daily life,

she observes people’s

peculiarities, their desires

and obsessions to create her

characters. Her imagination

connects these fragments

of real life and historical

elements, and then creates

stories. She tells these

stories in book format or

as sets of prints, and also

applies them to everyday

goods like tableware and toys

to let her world reach out to

us. She has been shortlisted

for

McMillan Children’s Book ...
