Nakahara Ichirou illustration gallery
One of those stunning pages that makes me want to forget drawing completely. His characters all have wonderul expressions and a sense of depth to each painting. I have trouble choosing a favorite on his site, but if i had t pick it would be 'rabbit' - click on 'illustrations' and it's one of the latest images - illust46.html is the page to look for (she's got rabbit ears). Most of his images have a slight fantasy theme to them, and tend to involve natural backgrounds like woods and trees. His coloring style has a wonderful glow to it. The site itself is easy to navigate and beautifully laid out. There are some wonderful how-to sections (in japanese) for photoshop and illustrator. There is also a section of wallpapers (kabegami).

Takahiro Awatake's Web Page
A very deep, facinating, and beautiful site, Tabanakuru has inspired me on many levels. Awatake-san's artwork reminds me of Miyazaki's work - mysterious, fanciful, filled with odd flying machines, monsters and bizarre landscapes. The artwork is lightly colored or black and white - his characters tend to come from a simpler civilization, primitive even. The manga works are a joy to view, even if you dont follow the Japanese. There is plenty of english scattered about the site to enable you to find your way around.

Chisato Naruse's web site
This website has been around for a while, and it's one of my favorites. All navagation is in english, so it's easy to find your way around. There is a wonderful range of colored works on this site (cn_23.jpg is my favorite). There is something very calm about her illustration style (I wish mine was refined (sigh)). Lots of nice work on this site, including some interesting pictures of japan's coastline.
