French illustrator and comics artist Rémi Maynégre traveled to Japan on his honeymoon, and documented the trip in a series of beautiful watercolor sketches. He has collected some of these into two books, with a third underway.
Both of the existing books have been given graphical reviews on Parka Blogs: Voyage au Japon, Tome 1: Tokyo, and Voyage au Japon, Tome 2: Koyasan.
You can see a number of the Japan watercolors on Maynégre’s website (note the links to “Page Suivante” at bottom right), which include images of the aftermath of the tsunami, along with some samples of his comics and Drawings of Yokai (mythical Japanese monsters). You will find additional images on Maynégre’s blog.
