Post details: Seishinsha's Mini-Togihime Zohushi Special

Seishinsha's Mini-Togihime Zohushi Special

August 11th, 2009 by Lucas (

If you've seen the Seishinsha Shirow page, you'd have noticed 2 different covers for the newly published Togihime Zohushi artbook. It is in fact a limited edition, 16-page special booklet gift from Seishinsha / Shirow Sensei with an alternate cover to the artbook for those who ordered directly from the Seishinsha website.

The gift was sent out end of July and samplings of the booklet has already been reviewed by some Japanese blogs, ranobe.com being one of the best I've come across so far :)

Togihime 16-Page Special Cover

The contents, from what can be seen at the moment seems to be a mash-up of previous and new pictures in the heavy digital rendering of Shirow Sensei's recent style. And as predicted, the artbook will be based on supernatural, folklore and ancient Japanese theme. No Sci-Fi this time, oh well...!

There are also some additional details on the new book from the flyers enclosed with the mini-book: it will be 24 x 33cm size and 64 pages. In the meantime, have a sneak peek at some pages and see if they rock your boat :)

Spot anything new?

By the way, I'm getting my Togihime from Amazon JP instead of Seishinsha direct, so no special mini-book for my collection either. This is as close as it gets, unless I chance upon a copy in the future :) But anyhow, most importantly- enjoy the release of yet another Shirow artbook. Super!

Float my boat!?!? BOY DOES IT! XD
I am probably going to miss out on the Seishinsha version as well (as much as it kills me) but I'd rather have it than not at all. Thanks for the awesome write up Lucas!

Well, as far as I can tell those are pages from the mini-book. The actual artbook should be A4-ish.

I think the Seishinsha offer has expired already. Basically they still accept direct orders for the limited amount of Togihime still left in stock, but no more mini-specials- so makes no difference where you buy them now.

Looking forward to getting it soon (I hope Amazon doesn't run out of stock! I ordered pretty late). :D

My Togihime is here :D Fantastic artwork, and actually beyond my expectations!

But the packing and delivery from Amazon was really poor, and my book got slightly bent, but I think I can live with it... will post some kind of review soon, though I dont really know what to say yet.

I received it from J-list. I like it a lot, it is quite large, same size as Intron Depot books, has 64 full color pages. Some new and old stuff but great! I wish I could read the stories there but the images will do for now :)
