Features: "Should I publish a collection?" Up to now, I don't know how many editors have approached me with this question. However, because creating such a collection is time-consuming, and I've never had the free time, the project has always been abandoned halfway. This time, SoftBank proposed a more practical plan to publish a personal art collection, and it has finally come to fruition. Initially, the plan was to create an art collection of animations I had participated in, arranged by year according to my preferences, forming a timeline of my works. However, during the process of collecting and organizing the works, considering the limitations and quantity, I realized that the final product could only be a summary of each work. Thus, the plan quickly shifted to publishing a collection focused on a specific animation. And so, this art collection centered around Cowboy Bebop was born. Even within the same animation, the style and feel can differ from beginning to end. This variability is inspired by the surrounding environment during the creative process and reflects the essential flexibility of an animator. The works of Cowboy Bebop in this collection are mostly arranged in chronological order, allowing me to actually feel the changes in my art style. I somewhat arbitrarily arranged the works in this order, and now, it seems, this is also one of the charms of this collection. Of course, this is also thanks to the unwavering support of the fans who support this work.
