They call me Luca Magnante. I work with plants, dogs and, mainly, on drawings.

Currently, I work with Edizioni NPE as a cover artist, colourer and, when I can, graphic designer.

Experts in Zen, video and communication, we live between Japan and our shop in Milan, sharing a Japanese adventure that has been expressed with passion for over 20 years.
"Mottainai" (勿 体 無 い) is the Japanese magic word that governs our purchasing choices; It means "what a waste!" and expresses a sense of regret about something that goes to waste.
