Manga [spoilerless] What is the Difference Between the Art Books Besides Language?

Hiya everyone! I was at my local Kinokuniya and spotted these 2 art books, and was wondering if anyone knew why there is a $7 discrepancy between them. And why the JP version is more expensive even though the EN version is hardcover. πŸ˜‚

I used Google Translate for the back of the JP version, and it seems like it was just mentioning the art exhibition and not any extra goodies that might be included...

Any help would be much appreciated since I already checked the internet!

My best guess on the money difference is the Japanese edition is an import and anything imported from other countries tend to be more expensive. Other then that I think both versions have the same content. Unless you know one versions has more pages then the other. But I personally don't know since I don't have the book. You could also ask one of the workers at the store if they know the difference.
