Masamune Shirow The World of Masamune Shirow: Ghost in the Shell and the Path of Creation - Ghost in the Shell - The World of Masamune Shirow Exhibition 2025 Official Catalog Art Book - 2025

This is the first-ever comprehensive exhibition catalog dedicated to Masamune Shirow, legendary creator of Ghost in the Shell. From his early works like Black Magic, Appleseed, and Dominion, to the mystical cyber-fantasy Orion, and his ongoing creative journey—Shirow’s visionary universe is captured in a single volume. ・A Visionary Ahead of His Time Masamune Shirow made his major debut in 1985 with the sci-fi manga Appleseed, and began serializing Ghost in the Shell in 1989. His unique perspective on emerging technologies—still unfamiliar to the public at the time—offered a prophetic glimpse into our modern information society. His intricate artwork, densely layered plots, and even the margin notes brimming with commentary have captivated readers and sparked imaginations across generations. Philosophical depth and speculative insight define Shirow’s world, inspiring creators across genres worldwide. ・ Featured Works - Black Magic: A dystopian world ruled by the supercomputer Nemesis - Appleseed: Post-war survival and cybernetic SWAT action with Deunan and Briareos - Dominion: A comedic battle between police tank officer Leona and the villainous Buaku gang - Ghost in the Shell: The elite Section 9 fights in a hyper-connected future - Orion: Ancient sorcerers and summoned gods clash over the mystical “Nine-Headed Dragon Technique” ・ Inside the Exhibition This catalog traces Shirow’s creative evolution through analog manuscripts and digital renderings, alongside personal book collections and candid commentary. Masamune Shirow: The World of Ghost in the Shell and the Path of Creation offers a rare glimpse into the personal and professional dimensions of a master storyteller. A must-have for fans, collectors, and anyone fascinated by the fusion of philosophy, technology, and imagination.
