Hidenori Matsubara is a japanese animator who firstly worked on "Wings of Honneamise" and "Project A-ko" before entering in Gainax anime studio where he became animation director on "Nadia and the secret of Blue Water" and "Otaku no Video".
He, then, worked as character designer on anime adaptation of Kousuke Fujishima's manga "Oh, My Goddess" and Sega's game "Sakura Taisen".
He's rumored to have served as inspiration on Mr Fujishima current drawing style.
He also worked on Gonzo version of Monte-Cristo Count "Gankutsuou", animation movie "King of Thorns" and many other anime.
He's now working in Khara studio on "Rebuild of Evangelion" movies.

The book mainly contains a load of full page illustrations with various styles and colouring showing Hidenori Matsubara's skills and talent.
Highly recommend if you like japanese animation.
