Shin Nagasawa

Shin Nagasawa has illustrated Pokémon TCG cards from 2009 to 2025, with work appearing across Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet. The art leans into action-forward clarity—vibrant, contrasting color and focused, character-led staging.

Curatorial Commentary

“The card depicts Arcanine standing on a rocky shoreline, its fur tousled by the ocean breeze as waves crash against the rocks. This scene captures a moment of tranquility and strength, with Arcanine appearing both powerful and at ease in its natural habitat. In the background, a hint of a Pokémon Center suggests a world rich with adventures and friendships. The overall atmosphere conveys a sense of readiness and connection to the environment.”
