Otomo decided to imagine the titular “Isle of Dogs” as a traditional Japanese dog, while the traditional Japanese wooden flooring represents the ocean.
Manga author Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira, Domu) has teamed up with the Japanese theatrical release of Isle of Dogs, the latest stop-motion animation film by director Wes Anderson, in a collaboration that features an original movie poster illustrated by Otomo.
Isle of Dogs hits Japanese theaters on May 25, 2018.
