The Japanese like Dick Bruna
To avoid coccoing, yesterday I went to Daimaru Museum at Tokyo, where Exibition of Dutch Picture Book Illustrators are held.
Although most people seem to be interested in "Miffy," by Dick Bruna, I felt some other illustrators such as Jan Jutte, Patsy Backx, and Marit Tornqvist are doing good work too.
I think that picture book illustrators draw simply, which is one of the tips to entertain kids. Although Japanese anime illustrators do excellet job in details, those skills might not go with picture books. In this sense, all of the illustrators whose works I observed yesterday draw their pictures only with a few lines and colors.

As I wrote above, I went there just because staying home all the time isn't healthy. But, another reason would be that I like Holland. I went there a couple of years ago, and it was really cool.
