Since Gustave Dore visualized the feature epic "Kamikyoku" written by Italian poet Dante from the 13th and 14th centuries with woodblock prints in the 19th century, I realized that there are many things around us today.

I thought that the publication of this illustration book would have been really epoch-making at the time.
