The Sayama Forest is one of the most remarkable urban forests in Japan, located just outside of Tokyo. This forest is the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece, My Neighbor Totoro. With Japan’s rapid urban devleopment in the 70s and 80s, the forest has been losing it’s land. In 1990, Miyazaki (宮崎 駿) set up the national trust, Totoro Forest Foundation to preserve this land.

Why is James Jean so unnaturally talented?
Check out his beautiful process! The softcover version of his book is in stores now in the States (I heard it was already released in Canada a while ago). It’s a stunning, oversized book (15″ x 11″) with 64 pages. Each page is essentially an art print, complete with crop marks, so you can trim it out, frame, hang, and admire it.
If your local comic shop doesn’t carry it, you can order it through Amazon or directly from Adhouse. I’ve heard rumor that Amazon’s stock is running low, so Adhouse may be your best bet.
