――It is no exaggeration to say that the sky that Shimakura Nishiro continued to draw in response to the image of the work and the director's request is the history of the Japanese special effects world itself.
――This book is the first photo book of the background artist, Shimakura, who looks back on the movies and the stage with his treasured photographs, focusing on special effects works.
――A lot of valuable interviews that can only be told by people who have been watching the scene and comments from related parties are posted.
――One more history of special effects is unraveled.
