Etoile: The World of Princesses & Heroines by Macoto Takahashi is the third collection of Macoto Takahashi’s artworks to celebrate his 70th anniversary as an artist in 2023.

Macoto has created many works on the theme of princess heroines in different kinds of fairy tales. His works abound with flowers and animals filled with loving prayers that remind us that all life is precious and each and every creature deserves equal happiness. This is why Macoto’s fans named the artist’s unique utopian worldview “Macotopia”, a world that the artist continues to pursue even today.

This book includes a selection from Macoto’s iconic large format works complete with the J/E bilingual introduction at the end of each article.
