This beautiful book came together with Enrico’s Venice Chronicles ( thanks again Enrico ! )and the artwork inside are just so astounding I had to share it with everyone. Enjoy ! ( Read this older post to find out more about the Totoro Forest Project. )
I apologize for the rather sloppy pictures but I couldn’t bear opening up the precious book too wide for fear of damaging the delicate spine.

This artbook is sold out but keep an eye on the Totoro Forest Project blog, they just might have a couple copies for sale at certain special events. You can also see all, if not most of the artwork in this book on the Totoro Forest Project website’s gallery.

Hello again Yonghow! I was looking to buy this book, but I was hoping to find it in bookstores in Japan. Do you know where I can find it in Tokyo?
I’ve sent you a message on facebook. Did you saw it?

Hello ShigueS ! I don’t think this book is available for sale in Tokyo…not yet at least. You might want to check the Totoro Forest Project blog…they should have an update if the books are available for sale somewhere. Yes I just saw your message on facebook…I’ll reply soon!

Oh, So I guess I will have to order it via internet. I want to take a look before buying, but maybe theres no necessity in this case. Thank you!
