To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Louvre's comic collection, a series of international exhibitions has been scheduled. The Taipei MoNTUE Museum, followed by the Tainan Cultural Center, inaugurated the Taiwanese part of this major retrospective by exhibiting more than two hundred original plates, preparatory drawings and video installations. Then, between August 2016 and September 2017, the exhibition follows a traveling tour through Japan, starting with the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Tokyo. At each stage of the exhibition, Taiwanese and then Japanese artists were invited to participate in this project. It is their work that we reproduce here. Their personal looks, their original cultures and their singular expressions send back new images of the Louvre,

A wildly imaginative trek into the deepest realms of human beliefs and the mysteries of the universe. Daisuke Igarashi's amazing pen can recreate anything he can imagine on paper, resulting in beautifully chaotic, maddeningly detailed scrawls of pure wonder. A true celebration of the human imagination.

When deep emotions come to the head, the witch that dwells in the heart awakens - the gorgeous and literary illusory tales begin.

The first chapter, Birthgrounds, is about a mystical creature that makes pottery.

The second chapter, Spirits flying in the sky, is about a girl who is cursed by an owl, and begins to fuse with a chicken spirit she killed by accident. But then she meets a girl just like herself, who helps her become normal again.

The third chapter, The tears of Tarou, is a story about a boy called the „Bear Killer“, who meets a girl who has been chosen to become the guardian deity of her village.

The fourth story, Covered in sand, is about a young girl who meets a girl with a mysterious disease while on a trip to the ocean.

The fifth chapter, le pain et le chat (The bread and the cat), is about a baker who decides to care for a girl whose parents have left her.

The last chapter, Still winter, is about a man who climbs a mountain that belongs to the gods, and is not made for man to climb. (Savino)

A genetically engineered girl escapes from her home and the doctor that created her must pursue her with the help of military personnel.

The daily life of Ichiko, a young woman who lives alone near a small village called Komori (lit., "Little Forest"). Each chapter features a dish or meal scavenged from the forests and mountains around Ichiko's home or harvested from fields she cultivates herself.

While there are no wild flights of fancy as in Majo or Hanashippanashi, the organic artwork and majesty of nature featured within this short series taps into that same source of magic. Little Forest is a very acquired taste, but it's also another piece of the stunning tapestry Igarashi Daisuke continues to weave today.

The heroine, Ruka, who was banned from taking part in the activities of her club during the summer vacation, meets a strange boy named Umi. She is fascinated by Umi, who she sees swimming freely in an aquarium, and finds out that he, along with Sora, was raised by a dugong. At that time a meteorite fell into the sea and all the fish disappeared from the world. The mystery of the sea deepens and the story spreads to encompass the life of the earth.
