I have never been to Japan and I don't speak Japanese, but I have great respect for Japanese culture. That's why I decided to publish this book. I used artificial intelligence and Midjourney neural network to illustrate the architecture in Tokyo and look at Japanese bookstore scenes, streetlights, streetlife, street art scenes, and open storefronts... The images were polished using Photoshop to experiment with a watercolor style. What was my inspiration for this book? Well, I used references from old anime and comic scenes. It helped me create really fantasy images of Japanese streets. What would I see as I walked along them? Stores, people, cats, the most incredible inventions and discoveries in the middle of nowhere...? Oh, and there would be skyscrapers too. The city of Tokyo has a lot of interesting architectural sights. But it will be a little different from what you usually see in anime movies. Well, I had to read a lot of literature for this book. That's why this book is not just an illustration experience but is also a book about books. Since I'm often at a bookstore, I was able to get lots of information from the other books about Japanese culture in order to get the final images. But a book is only the beginning for a writer. A reader completes it, and you are an example of this. I appreciate your attention and eagerly await your feedback.
