Suehiro Maruo RANPO PANORAMA*

Suehiro Maruo, Japan's manga master of ero-guro, meets Rampo Edogawa (1894-1965), the genre's literary forefather, in this collection of illicit and blood curdling art work. 

RANPO PANORAMA represents a remarkable convergence of Japanese artistic mastery, bringing together Suehiro Maruo, the acclaimed manga master of ero-guro, with the literary legacy of Edogawa Ranpo, the founding father of the genre. This extraordinary collection features over fifty works that showcase Maruo's haunting visual interpretations of Ranpo's Taisho-era tales of terror, presented in both striking black and white illustrations and vivid full-color masterpieces.

The collaboration creates a unique artistic dialogue across decades, uniting two masters who shared a fascination with humanity's darkest psychological depths. By opening his private archives for this comprehensive retrospective, Maruo has created something far beyond a typical art book—this volume serves simultaneously as cultural documentation, bold artistic statement, and invaluable collector's treasure, capturing the evolution of Japanese gothic sensibility from literature to visual art.

Includes graphic novel "Dancing One Inch Boy" by Maruo based on a story by Rampo Edogawa
