THE NEW ORDER ISSUE 32(SP)
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the yoshiokubo brand, a special book has been compiled tracing its history to date.
The approximately 40-page article, edited by THE NEW ORDER magazine, a fashion culture magazine that covers a wide range of cultures from a unique perspective, is packed with content that is both interesting to read and to look at.

Furthermore, the cover was commissioned from five up-and-coming artists from around the world, selected by the editorial team of THE NEW ORDER magazine. The result is an impactful piece that will make you want to display it in your room and pick it up at any time.
*There are 5 types of covers, but the contents are all the same.

Artist introduction: RUSSELL MAURICE
A British artist based in Japan. In addition to his artwork, he also designs the apparel brand "Gasius."

Regarding the concept of this piece, RUSSELL MAURICE explained, "My work always follows a certain kind of 'abstract narrative.' This time, I used the myth of the Green Knight as the starting point for the design. The Green Knight comes from a 14th century Welsh poem about King Arthur. As such, he is a mysterious character often used to embody the supernatural or spiritual other world, and is also associated with concepts of the devil (historically sometimes considered green), savage humans, and natural human desires."
The production process is also interesting, with Russell Maurice saying, "This time, I used the same analog techniques as cel animation frames, which have fallen into little use since being replaced by computer animation. I sketched the original artwork to scale and traced it onto a clear plastic sheet using enamel ink. I then colored it by filling in the solid areas with gouache to create a flat color, and then placed the cel on top of a background and photographed it to complete the piece."
We hope you will enjoy the layered cels, the depth and complexity that can only be achieved with analog techniques, along with the epic story.
