Experience Tokyo Through the Eyes of an Artist!

Tokyo Travel Sketchbook captures illustrator Amaia Arrazolas four-week adventure in Tokyo, offering a unique glimpse into the city through her eyes.

When Arrazola embarks on an artists residency in Tokyo, she dives into the city's vibrant culture with her paints and pencils. The result is a delightful illustrated diary showcasing life in the world's largest city.

Arrazolas sketches reveal Tokyos eclectic mix of traditional and modern, from the pop culture of Hello Kitty and "Kawaii" charm to encounters with female Samurais. She explores everything from quirky cafes and unique street fashion to the concept of wabi sabi—finding beauty in the city's imperfections.

Tokyo Travel Sketchbook presents a fresh, often humorous perspective on Tokyo, blending its high-tech glitz with deep-rooted traditions. Its a captivating visual journey through a city where the new and old coexist in surprising harmony.
