About Us

This publication project will be jointly carried out by the two companies.

 

planning: TOBEL Co.,Ltd.（Artbook Secretariat）

The "Artbook Secretariat" is a publishing company for artists founded by illustrator Yasuko Sagawa. She launched it in 2017 to help artists with her 15 years of experience as a freelance illustrator, cultivating the business from scratch.   She wanted to edit the book from the artist's point of view and create a book that is really useful for the artist's sales activities and can be bought in-store.   The “ART BOOK OF SELECTED ILLUSTRATION” series that started with this idea has had more than 2,000 Japanese artists participate in it and is now being sold not only in Japan but also worldwide.   Her hope is to deliver work to more and more people around the world by creating a book from the artist's perspective using her experience as an illustrator.   We hope that we can work together on your book as a starting point for business development in Japan, and the world.
