The Art of Kubo and the Two Strings
About this book
From LAIKA, the Academy Award®-nominated studio behind Coraline, ParaNorman, and The Boxtrolls, comes a new adventure set in a mythical ancient Japan. In Kubo and the Two Strings, scruffy, kind-hearted Kubo cares devotedly for his mother while eking out a humble living in their sleepy shoreside village. But when a spirit from the past appears, Kubo suddenly finds himself entwined in a violent struggle against gods and monsters. This fully illustrated book offers a behind-the-scenes view of the amazingly detailed artwork and unique stop-motion animation style involved in the film's creation.

KUBO


The hero of the story, Kubo, is a scrappy and kind-hearted teenage boy. He wears the kimono of his deceased father with the family’s beetle crest emblazoned on the back. The finely-patterned silk is folded and tucked to fit his smaller frame. At his side he carries his mother’s shamisen, a three-stringed instrument imbued with magical powers. The patch over his left eye is a reminder to him and the world of his troubled past, which soon threatens to catch up to him.
