In 2021, manga artist Kana Hoshino passed away, leaving behind a body of stunning sci-fi and fantasy work. Of note among her many creations over the years was the Ryokunohara series, which inspired the 1990 Ova Ryokunohara Labyrinth - Sparkling Phantom . A new book was recently published to celebrate Hoshino's work—and a new art exhibition will be opening this weekend to bring attention both to Hoshino's career and this new collection. Kana Hoshino Original Art Exhibition -"Kana Hoshino: Eternal Ryokunohara" Publication Commemoration Exhibition- will take place at Tokyo's Span Art Gallery. Visitors will be able to view 41 original color pieces and 32 black-and-white manga manuscripts by Hoshino. Merchandise will also be available for sale including bookmarks, clear files and art prints. The exhibition will run February 10-20. Admission is free.
