Where it came from
Published in 2010, Venice is a wordless graphic novel created by the celebrated Japanese mangaka Jirou Taniguchi. Commissioned by the Louis Vuitton Travel Book series, the work serves as a meditative visual essay on the Italian city. Taniguchi, known for his meticulous attention to atmosphere and quiet, contemplative storytelling, moved away from traditional manga panels to focus on watercolor and pencil sketches that capture the elusive light and architectural heritage of Venice.
The book stands as a departure from Taniguchi’s character-driven narratives, functioning instead as an observational travelogue. Critics and readers alike received the work as a masterclass in atmospheric rendering, praising his ability to evoke the stillness of the canals and the intricate textures of Venetian masonry. By removing dialogue, Taniguchi invited the reader to engage with the city purely through his distinct, naturalistic artistic perspective.
