Shintaro Kago Artbooks Box Set — 2nd edition, limited to 499 copies
This box set brings together Shintaro Kago Artbook Vol. 1 and Shintaro Kago Artbook Vol. 2 in a single hardcover edition, published by The Mansion Press as a 2nd edition limited to 499 copies. Both volumes are housed in a uniform box and presented as a complete collector object.
About the set
The two volumes function as a concentrated image survey rather than a narrative sequence. The selection foregrounds Kago's work at full-page illustration scale — where repetition, interruption, and controlled excess operate as structural principles rather than incidental effects. As a paired set, the object is designed for sustained reference and collection.

About Shintaro Kago
Shintaro Kago is a Japanese manga artist associated with the guro and ero guro traditions. His practice is characterized by experimental page structure, design-conscious composition, and a precise use of visual punchlines that situate grotesque imagery within formal, often satirical frameworks.
In the context of artbook publication, the work moves away from sequential storytelling toward image systems — repetition, interruption, and controlled excess deployed at full-page scale. The box set functions as a reference object for this mode of practice.
