What is Sekiro: Official Artworks?
Ashina, documented: the official art book, and the one English edition on this shelf not published by UDON.
Sekiro: Official Artworks collects the game’s character, enemy, prosthetic-tool and environment designs. The Japanese edition comes from Kadokawa’s game-book line as the series’ art books do, but the English edition breaks the shelf’s usual pattern: where Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring went to UDON, Sekiro’s English art book was published by Yen Press, the manga and light-novel house. Publishing maps matter in this Library precisely because they are exceptions like this.
The companion strategy volume is Future Press’s official guide, produced with FromSoftware’s cooperation in the house style, exhaustive maps, frame data and lore notes, the same publisher whose Bloodborne guide grew to 744 pages.
ON THE SHELF

Concepts for Wolf’s prosthetic attachments, the sculpted Buddhas of the Sculptor’s workshop, and Ashina’s snow: a smaller game than Elden Ring, with a proportionally tighter, more personal art book.
