This is a magazine page from the Game Informer, (issue 156) titled the 'Art of Okami', and has an interview with the lead background artist at Clover Studios, Naoki Katakai, a picture of him, and three snapshots taken from actual gameplay. These snapshots all show off the very unique Sumi-e, or ink wash, artistic style that the game uses, and all have the character of Amaterasu (the white wolf) illustrated in different, stylized Japanese backgrounds.
This is a full page illustration from a magazine that features Amaterasu, the main character of Okami. She is shown in a very dynamic position on top of a cliff with golden red flames radiating out from her body. In the foreground of this picture are falling pink cherry blossom trees set against a watercolor painting of mountains, showing off the beautiful hand drawn, traditional Japanese style of art used to make this game.
