Emi Kuraya's first major art book. In addition to a total of 90 paintings created between2017 and 2022 while she was a university student, the book features approximately 380 drawings. The book also includes a long, 9,000-word interview, in which she talks about her motivation for painting female images on canvas, reasons why she started to depict male subjects and couples in recent years, and her thoughts on painting, born out of her struggle to face herself, among other things.
