Japanese storefronts through the lens of a Polish illustrator

Tokyo-based Polish illustrator-animator Mateusz Urbanowicz has been painting Japanese storefronts since 2017. He published a book collecting his works under the title “Tokyo Storefronts” in April 2018. Continuing his project, the illustrator expanded his repertoire with an additional ten storefronts, however, this time he pictures colorful, unique and imaginary stores only existing in his fantasy. Urbanowicz’s watercolor-like miniature world paints an imaginary Tokyo in the most gorgeous colors possible.
