The imprint

Kagemori
Press

Japanese-culture and manga titles. A small imprint, registered with Bowker. One book so far.

What we publish.

Books that leave the reader something to do. THE INK DRAGON is the first: over 150 panels of ink-wash and screentone, and then twenty-five pages of open frames in twenty-two distinct layouts.

The drawing carries the story. Nobody explains what happened in it, and nobody says what belongs in the frames behind it.

Some things you cannot draw. You can only set them free.

From the afterword, Edition I
